freemint: I like tiddlywiki, I use it as my "new tab" page.
<clacke[m]>
unfortunately they made themselves a lot less useful for me when the plugin that allows you to save the wiki without nonsense started warning "this is open in other tabs" with huge red bar. but that was fine because I could just disable that plugin, I don't modify my start page often
<clacke[m]>
and then firefox made it less useful, because they broke the extension API in v57 (I think) and I had to find a new plugin to set the new tab page and it adds some quirks. also I can't load the page from file:/// anymore, so I put it on http://localhost:8080 (actually ipfs)
<clacke[m]>
but yeah, I think a personal wiki that is just a single html file with no server necessary is a really cool concept and also useful
<clacke[m]>
I haven't looked at their hosting and server-based stuff because at that point the things they did to make the cool concept work are just the wrong thing to do
<clacke[m]>
just use a normal wiki if you want a server
<clacke[m]>
or yeah, write one in pil :-)

clacke[m]: Agreed, there uses for it but I had trouble finding good use for wiki:s overall, including Zim and whatnot.
<clacke[m]>
cess11_: A wiki is just the simplest possible read/write web. But checking what Zim is I guess you mean personal wikis?
<cess11_>
Yeah, I've been in the habit of writing and copying plain text files instead.
<cess11_>
Then LaTeX came into my life.
<clacke[m]>
I've been keeping some markdown files around in git repos
<clacke[m]>
but now I've seen the light and will start using asciidoc more :-)
<clacke[m]>
and we're using the crazy overengineered site generator styx together with asciidoc in our project, so i'll be learning every nook and cranny of that this month
<clacke[m]>
asciidoc being a projection of docbook should create nice pdfs via latex

<cess11_>
Yeah, looks like it.
<cess11_>
And that Styx thing looks like it could be convenient once threaded into one's workflow, somewhat like Hugo, no?
<clacke[m]>
I don't know hugo enough to answer, I'm going to learn it as I transition our site from hugo to styx.
<clacke[m]>
but styx is probably great for us as we're already heavily into nix. caching at all levels of production is really nice.
<clacke[m]>
so styx will only generate the things affected by the file you just changed, that's what it brings
<clacke[m]>
and if you go back and forth between versions or you're in different directories doesn't matter, it's all in the nix cache. as long as you don't need to gc it, it will keep all intermediate results.
<clacke[m]>
90% of the usability of any ssg is about the same. edit the file. run the generator. build.
<clacke[m]>
view.
<cess11_>
Interesting. I'll keep it in mind for future projects.
<clacke[m]>
if I search for nix styx site generator, our website source is the first hit below the generator itself, so I guess I represent most of the user base :-)
<clacke[m]>
the creator of styx is on our team

cess11_: There are a few wikis that store everything as text/markdown. You could have both.
