## What is Blank Board?

Blank Board is a **minimal, blank canvas** where every feature is a plugin. No built-in tools. No bloat. Just a tiny micro-kernel and a powerful plugin system that lets you build your perfect personal workspace.

## Core Philosophy

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion icon="window-minimize" title="Start Empty">
    The board starts completely empty. No toolbar, no sidebar, no settings panel — just a blank canvas with a grid.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="puzzle-piece" title="Everything is a Plugin">
    Even the Plugin Manager is a plugin. The core kernel is \~100 lines. Everything else is modular and optional.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="code" title="Simple to Build">
    Plugins are standalone ES modules. No build step, no frameworks, no dependencies. Just a `.js` file with `meta` and `setup`.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="users" title="Community Driven">
    Community plugins live in a separate repository. Anyone can create and share plugins via Pull Request.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
