omg, knowfox looks like something i have been looking for for years. thank you for making it.
can i have most of the data public and only some things closed?
i have this idea that my personal database and homepage/capsule should be sort of the same.

Not out of the box, unfortunately. I use it for private journalling and as a personal knowledge base, so everything is private by default.
Publishing works by running a static site generator. The published site consists of static HTML pages.

Here is an example:
— blog.knowfox.com (sorry, no Gemini yet)
The published result on the left and the internal view (with some configuration) on the right:

I have started an interesting experiment: A Gemini frontend to my personal knowledge management system, Knowfox. [https link] Knowfox Knowfox stores all content as Markdown. This makes it easy to convert to Gemtext and display it. Saving content through a Titan request is a bit more involved, as I have to strip out the navigation and convert Gemtext back to Markdown. I have a local implementation working, as a Python CGI script behind GmCapsule, working against the Knowfox REST API....
