What is Cink?

Cink (Capture / Comment / Context → Index → Think) is an automated knowledge-capturing system that transforms your
reading into a living, searchable, and deployable knowledge base.

It automatically stores everything you read, versions your notes, and deploys them as a website — all with minimal
manual effort.
