KnowNote — how it is builtNotes on the mechanism behind KnowNote: where citation offsets come from, why the embedder runs in-process, and what a desktop app costs to ship.https://knownote.pages.dev/enHow an answer finds its way back to its pagehttps://knownote.pages.dev/blog/citations-mechanism/https://knownote.pages.dev/blog/citations-mechanism/Citations are decided when a document is cut up, not when the answer is written. Here is where the offsets come from and what they do and do not prove.Sun, 20 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTSource citationsWhy the embedder runs inside the apphttps://knownote.pages.dev/blog/why-the-embedder-is-local/https://knownote.pages.dev/blog/why-the-embedder-is-local/The default embedding model is an ONNX model loaded in-process, pinned to one revision, with remote loading switched off. What that buys, and what it costs.Fri, 18 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTLocal embeddingsOne vector table per notebookhttps://knownote.pages.dev/blog/one-vector-table-per-notebook/https://knownote.pages.dev/blog/one-vector-table-per-notebook/Vectors from two different embedding models are not comparable, and cosine similarity between them returns a number rather than an error.
