Keel is a self-hosted notebook combining writing, databases, kanban boards, mind maps, wikilinks, and workspace graphs.

Why it surfaced

This is a concrete alternative to the rented-workspace model: run it on a computer, home server, VPS, or Docker, with no AI, no telemetry, and no required cloud account. The same records can move between table, board, timeline, and mind-map views, while the site makes room for security details such as revocable read-only links and separately stored secret keys.

August 14’s newborn domains include an unnumbered giant among thirteen catalogued glossy cats, a shareable Visual Snow Syndrome simulator, two independent Colombian relief directories, and a snail farm with races, courtship, and its own Gazette.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-14 Domain Arrivals issue.
