Welcome to Ink.sh

Ink.sh is a powerful tool for creating, organizing, and learning from your knowledge. It allows you to take any topic and turn it into an interactive canvas where you can add your own notes, connect related concepts, and test your understanding with quizzes and flashcards.

Powered by Wikipedia

It begins with a Wikipedia topic, but goes much deeper than just the text. Once you find a topic to research, Ink gives you the interactive tools to take your learning to new levels.

Creating a Canvas

From the library, click the “New Canvas” button to create your first canvas.

From there, you can:

• Add your own notes and insights alongside the original content
• Connect related concepts to build a knowledge graph
• Generate quizzes and flashcards to test your understanding
• Ask questions and chat about the contents of your canvas
• Organize information in a way that makes sense to you

Once you’ve created a canvas, you can start building your knowledge graph by adding and connecting nodes.

Creating nodes

Click the “+” button to add a new node to the canvas.

Wikipedia Topics

Topics are the foundation of your learning journey in ink.sh. Once you add a topic to your canvas, you can interact with it in powerful ways to deepen your understanding and build a rich knowledge graph.

The Topic Node

The topic node lets you explore a Wikipedia article in an interactive way. You can either choose a random topic or search for a specific one to add to your canvas. Once added, the topic node displays the article’s content and allows you to engage with it in various ways.

Key Features

Highlighting and Annotations

Select and highlight important passages to mark key information. Your highlights are saved and can be used to create focused study materials.

Extract and Connect

Pull out specific information from the article to create new nodes. Transform static text into interactive elements:

• Create tables from data in the article
• Generate maps from geographic information
• Build charts from numerical data
• Extract images to your canvas

Deep Dive

Use the topic node as a springboard to explore related concepts. Click on links within the article to create new topic nodes and expand your knowledge graph.

Ask Questions

Chat with the content of your topic to clarify concepts, get explanations, or explore ideas in more depth.

Starting with a Random Topic

Find a Specific Topic

Finding Content Within a Topic

Use the “Find in Topic” feature to quickly locate specific information within the article. You can search for keywords, phrases, or concepts to jump directly to the relevant section of the content. Tables are also searchable, making it easy to find specific data points and extract them for your studies.

Linking to Related Topics

Click on links within the article to create new topic nodes. This allows you to explore related concepts and build a rich, interconnected knowledge graph. Each new topic node can be further explored, annotated, and connected to other nodes in your canvas.

Extracting Data from the Topic

Use the “Find in Topic” feature to locate specific data points within the article. You can then extract this information to create new nodes on your canvas, such as tables and charts.

Creating Charts from Data

Rows and columns in a table can be extracted to create charts. This allows you to visualize data from the article and gain insights that may not be immediately apparent from the text alone.

Highlighting Key Information

Highlight important passages in the article to mark key information. Your highlights are saved and can be used to create focused study materials. This feature allows you to quickly reference important concepts and build a personalized learning experience.
