What you're describing sounds a lot like LDAP, but it could be I'm just triggered by "schemas." LDAP would be the backend; there's a whole slew of LDAP browsers, but none of them really seem like they're targeted at users.

I never looked into LDAP, I will do so now, thanks. Hopefully there could be something out there starting from the right keywords
Most of what you'll find is user management and system administration, because LDAP is a common backend for user authentication &c at larger sites, but there's no reason it can't store arbitrary data. https://openldap.org/ slapd on the backend and maybe https://directory.apache.org/studio/ on the frontend. But since it's built around user authentication, it has layers of security and access control that really complicate understanding the actual system.
I see, it gets complicated enough for me, I cannot imagine for some of the other users I would like to target... I will probably look into it as a last resort. Thanks
Sounds like mind mapping software. I use freeplane (formerly freemind) desktop app but would love to find a self-hosted collaborative web based alternative with a database backend.
Quite not the same, the definition of what I am looking for seems either "Personal Information Manager" or "Outliner". Still a niche market it seems
Sorry for the double post that appeared for a while, lemmy was slow/malfunctioning, I deleted the other post and unfortunately by doing so also the answer of @InverseParallax@lemmy.world sorry.
Here the answer
I’ve got a hacked pyqt5 script that does this, I doubt it’s what you want. Adding mysql support and eventually want to be able to have something like limited math functions so you can add all the values in a tree for stuff like total cost.
If you find something better I’d be real interested, I really want web and preferably app support.
So why not use treeline then?
I do use it, but it is a desktop app. I was looking for something that could be used in a browser, I am so in need for that that I actually deployed treeline on alpine as a Kasm workspace for remote operation. Setting up a virtual desktop just for this seems a real overkill, besides that, I was hoping that a hosted solution could allow an easier collaboration between multiple users.
Why don't you just dockerize treeline? It's all python and Java. Looks easy enough.
