spira-base
a knowledge base for arXiv papers
Spira Base is a self-hosted personal knowledge base designed to stockpile arXiv papers in your own database. Instead of relying on exact keyword matching, it uses semantic vector search to help you retrieve papers based on concepts, abstracts, and contextual relevance. Keep your entire research library private, fast, and completely under your control.
Hi Product Hunt community! 👋
I'm excited to share **Spira Base** — a self-hosted knowledge base built specifically for anyone who reads, collects, and manages arXiv papers.
🔍 The Problem
Keeping up with research often leads to hundreds of saved PDFs and bookmarks that get lost in the noise. When you want to revisit a specific paper months later, exact-keyword searches fail if you don't remember the exact title or authors.
💡 The Solution
Spira Base lets you build your own private research repository with powerful semantic retrieval:
- Semantic Vector Search: Find papers by conceptual similarity rather than rigid keywords. Query what you're thinking, and find matches based on abstract context.
- 100% Self-Hosted & Private: Deploy locally in your own environment. Your queries, notes, and research history never leave your infrastructure.
- Stockpile & Organize: Maintain a clean, structured database of papers tailored to your workflow.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and feature suggestions from researchers, developers, and knowledge-management enthusiasts!
