Hello HN, co-founder of Emvi here!

Emvi is our approach to a real-time knowledge base and we finally opened registrations for public Beta. We found that existing tools structure content in a tree-like hierarchy which tends to limit reach and scalability.

For Emvi we implemented a concept that is closer to pages like Wikipedia or Medium - articles are linked internally, curated to lists and grouped by tags. Our goal is to make it accessible for both technical and non-technical users and to keep the content maintainable for the long term.

Some features we already include:

* Powerful search with filters and sorting options

* Activity feed and notifications

* WYSIWYG-editor with real-time collaboration

* @-mention any element (articles, lists, users, groups or tags)

* Full article change history

* Fine-grained rights management for users and groups

* Multiple translations for articles and list titles

We are currently working on comments and embeds and an early API is available on GitHub[1].

Feel free to share your thoughts and questions in the comments.

Cheers,

Daniel
