"We know more than we can express in words" is one of Michael Polanyi's key ideas.
His concept explains why knowledge is not just a static set of facts, but a dynamic process that depends on context, personality, and interactions with others. At Conoted, we take this approach by helping users not just store information, but actively work with it, linking notes to people, ideas, and context.

📖 Explicit and Tacit Knowledge: What's Important to Understand?
Polanyi divided knowledge into explicit and tacit.
🔹 Explicit knowledge is something that can be easily written down, transmitted, or digitized. These are textbooks, articles, and instructions.
🔹 Tacit knowledge – personal experience, intuition, skills that are difficult to express in words. It's like learning to ride a bike or understand people.
Most valuable knowledge is tacit!
🔥 Example:
You can read books on entrepreneurship, but until you start your own business, you won't understand how it works in reality.

🎯 How does this concept work in Conoted?
Regular notes save facts, but in reality, connections between knowledge and people are more important.
📌 1. Linking knowledge to experts
In Conoted, you can not only write down ideas, but link them to people who understand the topic. This allows you to convey not only information, but also experience.
📌 2. Groups as a source of tacit knowledge
Communication within groups helps users learn from each other's experiences – just like students learn from masters.
📌 3. Knowledge interconnectivity
Simply storing notes doesn't make you smarter. But when knowledge is connected by tags, topics, and social connections, it turns into a full-fledged knowledge system.
🔥 Example:
Instead of just saving lecture notes, you can add colleagues and experts to help you understand complex issues.

🔍 Why is this important in the modern world?
❌ Error: Many people think that if information is saved, it will automatically be useful.
✅ Solution: It is useful not only to collect information, but also to understand the context, connections, and interact with knowledge carriers.
🚀 Conoted turns notes into a living knowledge system that doesn't just store facts, but helps you grow and develop!
