@j3s Are there any good static site generators for wikis? I might give it a try to see how it feels, I never seem to have the inspiration to write a blog or log post about what I'm up to..

@gustav not that i know of. i'm hosting github.com/bouncepaw/mycorrhiz on a little server of mine & it feels lightweight enough

@gustav I personally use Docusaurus (deployed via Vercel), but I'll be the first to admit it's not for everyone. There's a reliance on things being in a folder structure, which is a bit against the idea of a wiki. It's been a good place for me to dump thoughts and links though.

The digital garden communities are good places to look for resources. You might find something that strikes your fancy there.

What about ikiwiki.info/

I think org-mode with or without org-roam can spit out something very wiki like as well.

@alienghic @gustav

whatever works for u!

i dislike using git, except for software development. it's clumsy & most of the time i'm on the web and just wanna press "edit" and save.

i really need my wiki to be as low effort as possible & aesthetically pleasing

but there's a fine balance between something that feels good (mycorrhiza) and something that feels bloated (anything built from js frameworks, generally)

There's a few other note taking things like roamresearch.com/ or obsidian.md/ that people have talked about providing functionality kind of like wikis.

The obsidian website looks kind of promising.

@alienghic like i said, whatever works. i'm allergic to most nonfree software, but use much more evil proprietary shit. i just really don't want such a personal system to be not controlled by me.

That's pretty much all i've got.

I think there's been efforts to port org-mode to other editors if you don't like emacs but do like free software.

@alienghic i never gave org-mode a fair shake. i tried emacs a few times but bounced off 3:
