Notes, Pages, Groups, and Spaces
Mikipage has a small vocabulary. Four words cover almost everything, and the most important one is the distinction between the first two.
The one idea that matters most
Your notes are yours. The pages are alive.
A note is something you wrote. It has exactly one owner, it changes only when that owner changes it, and AI never rewrites it behind your back.
A Miki page is something AI wrote from your notes. It's a living document: as the notes underneath it change, the page can be regenerated to reflect them.
This split is deliberate, and it's enforced by the system rather than by good intentions. Most AI note tools have a single kind of document that AI edits in place, which leaves you wondering what changed and whether your original words survived. Here there is nothing to wonder about: AI reads notes and writes pages. The only exception is one explicit, owner-only action — AI Polish — and even then the AI's text is appended to the bottom of your note rather than replacing what you wrote.
Note
The raw material. A note is:
- Human-written. You type it (or your AI assistant creates it on your behalf).
- Singly owned. Only the owner can edit or delete it. Share it to a group and other members can read and comment on it — never edit it.
- Static. Write it once; change it when you want to.
- Markdown. Formatting, links, images, tags, attachments. See [1].
Notes are capped at 32KB, which is deliberate — see [1] for why, and what to do with something longer.
Miki page
The synthesis. We call it a "Miki page" because it behaves like a wiki page, and in everyday use we just say "page". A page is:
- AI-generated and AI-maintained. You give it a title and instructions in plain language — "everything I've learned about sourdough", "a timeline of the house renovation" — and AI finds the relevant notes and writes the page.
- Live. When notes change, the page goes stale and a refresh brings it current.
- Collaborative. A page that belongs to a group can be refreshed by any member.
- Cited. The generated text carries references back to the source notes, so you can always see where a claim came from.
If notes are files, a page is a folder — except the folder fills itself, and it can also be read as a finished article. That double life is why a page has two views: the written page, and the notes behind it. See [2].
Which one do I want?
| I want to… | Use |
|---|---|
| Capture my own thoughts, ideas, or records | Note |
| Create a summary that stays current across many notes | Page |
| Generate something with AI once, then edit it myself | Note (AI Polish, or Save as Note from a page) |
| Maintain a document AI keeps up to date | Page |
Group
The people. A group is a container you invite others into. Once you're both in it:
- You share notes to the group. Sharing makes a note readable by members and lets it feed the group's pages. It does not make it editable by anyone but you.
- The group has its own pages, which synthesize across everyone's shared notes. This is where Mikipage does something a solo tool can't: a page that draws on what several people independently wrote.
- Each note keeps its author, so contributions stay attributed.
- A group can be made public, which publishes its notes and pages to the open web. See [3].
Groups hold up to 30 members, including you.
Space
The scope you're looking at. Space answers where am I looking; Group answers who is here.
You always have exactly one Personal space — built in, private, and impossible to share or delete. Every group you belong to also has a space. The space switcher at the top of the page moves you between them, and it scopes almost everything: which notes the list shows, which pages exist, where a new page gets created, what search covers.
Personal is not "a group with one person in it". It is the one place that can never be shared with anybody, and it's held apart in the interface for exactly that reason.
Comment
The smallest piece. A comment is a short reaction attached to a specific note or page — a suggestion, a correction, a question. Comments aren't knowledge in their own right and don't feed into page generation; they're how people talk about content. Group pages show their comments by default, since that's where conversation tends to happen.
Putting it together
The loop is write → organize → share:
- You write notes, without deciding where they belong.
- AI organizes them into pages — as many different pages as you have angles on the material. One note can feed several pages at once.
- You share notes to a group so its pages draw on everyone, or make a group public so the pages are readable by the world.
Nothing about step 1 commits you to a structure, which is the whole point: there are no folders to file into and no tags you're obliged to maintain. The organizing happens after the writing, and it can happen more than one way at the same time.
