Observed facts come from public pages. Founder-edited facts are supplied by the verified owner. AI-inferred facts are model interpretations; derived facts are calculated from other data. A source link lets you check the current page. It does not guarantee the fact is still current.

Dates show when a record was saved. Some older records use the listing’s update date; they are not proof of a fresh check. Missing source records are shown explicitly.

Flowing’s desktop app allows researchers to import PDFs and recall evidence, which seems well suited for academics integrating their references directly into the writing process. What led you to prioritise a desktop application over a web-based platform for this workflow?
