The `.mind` Vision

MindStore's long-range vision includes a portable .mind file format.

In simple terms, the idea is:

• one file contains your knowledge
• that file can hold content, metadata, indices, and AI-ready structure
• the file can be moved, backed up, shared selectively, and eventually queried by compatible tools

The full working specification and idea dump currently lives in the repository root as MIND_FILE_SPEC.md.

Why It Matters

Today, MindStore is still primarily a web app backed by PostgreSQL.

The .mind idea matters because it points toward a future where:

• users own a portable knowledge artifact
• search and AI context can travel with the file
• MindStore can become more than just one hosted app

Current Status

This is a vision document, not the current production storage engine.

MindStore today still works through:

• the web app
• PostgreSQL
• APIs
• MCP
• the browser extension

The .mind format is best understood as the long-term portability and ownership direction for the product.
