+# Related Projects, People, and Landscape
+
+The LLM wiki / personal knowledge base space as of April 2026. People building in the space, their projects, key tweets, and how they relate to WikiHub.
+
+---
+
+## Key People
+
+### Andrej Karpathy
+- **Role:** Coined the "LLM Wiki" pattern (April 2, 2026)
+- **Twitter:** [@karpathy](https://x.com/karpathy)
+- **Key artifact:** [LLM Wiki gist](https://gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519de94f) — 3-layer architecture (raw sources / wiki / schema)
+- **Key tweet:** ["LLM Knowledge Bases"](https://x.com/karpathy/status/2040016856015839590) — 12M+ views, started the wave
+- **Quote:** "Obsidian is the IDE, the LLM is the programmer, the wiki is the codebase"
+- **Impact:** ~8,200 stars on the gist in 12 hours. Spawned 20+ open-source implementations within a week.
+- **Relevance to WikiHub:** Karpathy's pattern is the foundation. WikiHub is the hosted publishing layer that the pattern is missing — a place to publish, share, and clone LLM wikis.
+
+### Farza Majeed (@FarzaTV)
+- **Role:** Built Farzapedia — the first high-profile personal LLM wiki
+- **Twitter:** [@FarzaTV](https://x.com/FarzaTV)
+- **Background:** Founder of buildspace (a16z-backed). Currently building Tidbit with Sharif Shameem.
+- **Key tweet:** ["This is Farzapedia"](https://x.com/FarzaTV/status/2040563939797504467) — April 4, 2026. 1.7M views, 4,633 likes, 5,826 bookmarks.
+- **What he built:** 2,500 entries from diary + Apple Notes + iMessage → 400+ interlinked wiki articles covering friends, startups, philosophy, anime, relationships
+- **Data sources:** Day One journal, Apple Notes (exported HTML/TXT/MD), iMessage (extracted from `~/Library/Messages/chat.db`)
+- **Published skill:** [personal_wiki_skill.md](https://gist.github.com/farzaa/c35ac0cfbeb957788650e36aabea836d) — 505-line Claude Code skill with commands: `/wiki ingest`, `/wiki absorb`, `/wiki query`, `/wiki cleanup`, `/wiki breakdown`, `/wiki status`
+- **Key insight:** Auto-generated a "Relationship History" article from diary + iMessage — sensitive enough that Farzapedia will never be public. This is the core privacy problem WikiHub's per-page visibility solves.
+- **Landing page:** [farza.com/knowledge](https://farza.com/knowledge) — interest-gauge page, not yet a product
+- **Relevance to WikiHub:** Farzapedia proves the demand. The fact that it can't be made public (one sensitive article poisons the whole vault) is exactly the problem WikiHub's `<!-- private -->` blocks and per-file visibility solve.
+
+### Naman Ambavi (@namanambavi)
+- **Role:** Built Namanopedia / mylife.wiki — an LLM wiki generator for anyone
+- **Twitter:** [@namanambavi](https://x.com/namanambavi)
+- **Background:** CEO of [Oximy](https://oximy.com) (YC W26) — "Know how AI is actually used across your company." Previously COO at Induced AI, founder of Easo Care.
+- **Key tweet:** ["This is Namanopedia"](https://x.com/namanambavi/status/2041999388680319226) — April 8, 2026. 8,871 views.
+- **What he built:** [mylife.wiki](https://mylife.wiki) — paste a name, get a 40-50+ article Wikipedia about that person. AI agent researches the web and compiles articles.
+- **Demo:** [mylife.wiki/naman-ambavi](https://mylife.wiki/naman-ambavi)
+- **How it differs:** Farzapedia/Karpathy are from private data (diary, messages). Namanopedia is from public web data about a person. Different input, same output shape.
+- **Relevance to WikiHub:** Shows that the wiki-as-output format works for public-data-about-a-person too, not just private-data-by-a-person. WikiHub could host both patterns.
+
+### AYi (@AYi_AInotes)
+- **Twitter:** [@AYi_AInotes](https://x.com/AYi_AInotes)
+- **Key tweet:** [Detailed Chinese-language breakdown of Farzapedia](https://x.com/AYi_AInotes/status/2040635298179428371) — translated and analyzed Farza's approach for the Chinese AI community
+- **Relevance:** Shows international interest in the pattern. WikiHub should consider i18n early.

+
+## Key Directories / Meta-Resources
+
+| Directory | Focus | Size |
+|-----------|-------|------|
+| [llmstxthub.com](https://llmstxthub.com/) | llms.txt sites (curated, PR-based) | 500+ |

+
+## Five-Sense Taxonomy
+
+From our [LLM wiki research](/@jacobcole/architecture/beads-vs-wikihub-architecture):
+
+1. **Personal LLM wiki (Karpathy sense)** — LLM curates a markdown KB for one user
+2. **AI-generated public encyclopedia** — LLM writes articles at scale for public
+3. **Wiki FOR LLMs to consume** — docs shaped for LLM ingestion (llms.txt)
+4. **Wiki ABOUT LLMs** — traditional human-written reference content
+5. **Human + AI collaborative wiki** — shared surfaces where both read/write
+
+WikiHub sits at the intersection of senses 1, 3, and 5.
+
+---
+
+## WikiHub's Position
+
+WikiHub is the missing **publishing and hosting layer** for the Karpathy/Farzapedia pattern:
+
+- Karpathy's pattern gives you the local wiki. WikiHub gives you a URL to share it.
+- Farzapedia proves the privacy problem. WikiHub's per-file visibility and `<!-- private -->` blocks solve it.
+- Namanopedia proves the public-data variant works. WikiHub can host both.
+- The llms.txt ecosystem proves agent-readable web content has demand. WikiHub serves markdown natively via `Accept: text/markdown`.
+
+No existing tool combines: multi-user + browser-editable + per-page visibility + REST API + git clone + agent-native.
