Ark

What is Ark and what is it for?

Ark is a tool for Moss, the desktop app groups use to work together over Holochain, and it keeps a group's written record — minutes, decisions and reports — inside the group instead of in something one person administers. It files, amends and searches those documents, and every member holds a copy of the archive.

Ark is a tool for Moss, the peer-to-peer desktop app that groups use to work together over Holochain. It exists for the long written record a group builds up over years — minutes, decisions and reports — which usually ends up somewhere a single person administers: a website, a shared drive, or a wiki behind a password nobody can find. Ark keeps that record in the group instead, with each member holding it.

Group members file, amend and reorganise the archive themselves. Amending a document publishes a new version and keeps the old one, so the record shows what it says now and what it used to say. The folder tree is held apart from the documents, so reorganising never touches a document. Search runs in the browser across the whole archive, including the text of attachments alongside the documents themselves.

A group with an existing record can bring it in: Ark reads a folder of markdown files with YAML front matter, understands title, date, folder and attachments, and keeps every other key as it is, because what counts as metadata is the group's decision. Export writes the same layout back out as a zip. The repository README describes the setup and the commands for running it in Moss.
