Pivio is in it’s core a very simple idea. It’s Json files in a database. The real value is in the data the developers provide. Pivio just collects it in a central place and makes it searchable.
Pivio will only consists of three main parts.
-
The upload client
-
The simple, domain specific REST API to elasticsearch
-
A Webview
This is what you can start with. The real power comes from extension and from tools that query the database which are not part of core Pivio.
The Pivio WebView provides a simple way to browse the in described data format. It also offers a simple QueryEditor and a feed for what changed in the platform.
With the client you can upload any data, not just the one described in the data format section. This gives you the power to upload and search any data you think might be useful for your use case. The only downside is that it will not be displayed in the WebView. To see it nevertheless the WebView can be extended to include your own standalone view of your custom data. See Extending Pivio.
