Rationale
Foam is a personal knowledge management system built on VS Code and GitHub. It focuses on organizing notes and thoughts using markdown documents and wikilinks, with a graph visualization feature. While it deals with local files and can be published to the web, it lacks the AI-powered conversational interface, automated sorting rules, and direct cloud storage integrations that are central to Dynbox's value proposition. The 'local-file-system-access' feature is the only one that directly aligns, as Foam operates on local markdown files.
