I'm very interested here. I'm a big http://zim-wiki.org guy, but I've always been fascinated with the promise of doing this in the browser to reduce that sort of friction. Tiddlywiki's a possibility here, but for being browser-based it always seemed weirdly difficult to do client/server style.

This seems like the kind of thing I'm looking for, should be easy to self-host and access from different browsers, no?



Zim is a classic software, limited but usable, it's good if you do not use Emacs, so in that case I recommend it.

Tiddly Wiki might be less hard to use with

- Timini (https://ibnishak.github.io/Timimi/ + https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/timimi/ or https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/timimi/mnggafnmmhd...) or

- TiddlyD (https://github.com/bachmeil/tiddlyd)

- Twkwk (https://github.com/steinuil/twkwk)

And probably many others alike. Essentially they are local daemons who serve a local TittdlyWiki taking care of file saving, attachments etc. The interesting part of TiddlyWiki is IMO it's full-fledged transclusion support but it's far more mechanic than Zim.

Org-mode/org-roam/* in Emacs do MUCH more and are MUCH more reliable in time-based notes terms (lifetime of notes) but demand much more effort...


It is easy to self host, just one command.
