SiYuan rides its 3.7 overhaul with rapid alpha polish on mobile and cross-platform

knowledge-basenote-takingopen-sourceplugin-systemcross-platformmobile
◆Current state
SiYuan is an open-source, local-first knowledge base. Its 3.7 line was a throughout renewal — a redesigned UI, a kernel plugin system, and a CLI — and the feed since has been a fast cadence of alpha releases (3.7.1, 3.7.2) grinding on mobile editing and cross-platform quirks across Android, HarmonyOS, iOS, and the Microsoft Store build.
◆Where it's heading
The work is consolidating the 3.7 overhaul along three lines: extensibility (kernel plugins), cross-platform parity (HarmonyOS now treated as a first-class target alongside Android and iOS), and mobile editing polish. The 'step toward intelligence' language hints at AI features, but the concrete shipping is platform breadth and extensibility.
◆Prediction
Expect 3.7.2 to stabilize out of alpha with continued mobile and HarmonyOS fixes; the kernel plugin system points toward a growing third-party plugin ecosystem as the next surface.
