weave documentation

weave is an open-source, self-hosted alternative to Airtable, Fibery, Notion databases, and ClickUp, built so that AI agents are first-class users. Start at the project README — it covers what weave is, the quickstart, self-hosting, and the FAQ.

Document What it covers
Ontology & glossary The one core kind — workspaces, spaces, tables and rows are all entities — how the levels nest, and the glossary; plus why an entity type is not a field type
Architecture map Interactive map of the runtime: adapters, request core, engine, stores, renderers, agent surfaces; every node links to its code at a pinned commit
Feature parity matrix weave scored against Fibery’s core work-platform feature set, feature by feature
weave vs Airtable Concept mapping, field types, what wins where, how to migrate
weave vs Fibery The closest model to weave’s, and the honest gaps
Open-source alternatives compared weave against NocoDB, Baserow, Grist, and Teable
Screenshots Table, entity documents, docked entity, relation map, search. Regenerate with node scripts/screenshots.mjs

The live docs

Every running instance provisions a self-documenting weave workspace at /w/weave/ — a Handbook, a Wiki, the roadmap and issue tracker, and a Quality space mirroring the test suite. It is queryable through the same REST API as any other workspace, so the tool documents itself in its own data model.
