Pierre,
How would you define the essence of InfoQube?
And what is the quickest route to getting to grips with it?

The essence:
- InfoQube is item based. An item represents a thing, a thought, a person, an event, a task, a paragraph, a file, a URL. i.e. some fragment of information you want to keep
- Items can have extra information / metadata (called fields and tags in IQ). Users can create fields of 4 basic types (text, number, date, yes/no). Tags have inheritance
- Field values can be linked through equations and triggers (to calculate taxes, invoice total, etc)
- Items don’t have types and are not restricted on what field values / tags they can have
- Items can be linked in many ways (parent-child, ad-hoc bidirectional links, hyperlinks, common fields and/or tags)
- All items are created equal (i.e. Graph-based, not Tree-based)
- IQ proposes many UIs to show / sort / filter this information to show only relevant items
- Items can have long-form rich-text content (shown in word-processor like UIs)
- All items and metadata is saved in a file, managed by a database engine (open format)
How to start:
- Start small
- Select something you want to manage and think on how you’d like it to work, what you’d like to get out
- Read the documentation. It has grown to be quite extensive
- Join the forum and ask questions, we have a small but helpful community

Hi Outliners,
InfoQube v116 has a new view: Card View
- Card view is an infinitely sized surface
- The view shows items as resizable cards
- The view is divided into 4 quadrants
- Cards can be freely moved over the surface
- Cards have two sides:
- Side 1 shows the item text and selected item values (URL, Notes)
- Side 2 shows the Doc pane content
- All document types are supported (HTML, MHT, PDF, XLS, etc)

Hi Outliners !
InfoQube v116 (for Windows) is now available for download (v116e is the current stable version)
New in this release:
1- Card View: Desktop-like 2D surface divided in 4 quadrant where you can view items + rich text content as resizable two-sided index cards. Perfect alternative to Outline views. No other PIM has such a view !
2- Database-level Find and Replace. Truly amazing that OneNote, Evernote, Notion, Roam and just about all other big players do not have this feature
3- Insert Image dialog. Supports drag-drop
A total of 40 new / improved features. Details here: https://infoqubeim.com/drupal5/?q=node/4982
