gollark: And it's a single HTML file.
gollark: TiddlyWiki is quite unique because much of the UI is editable from within TiddlyWiki in somewhat weird ways.
gollark: If you do want to do this sort of thing I would probably recommend python, because I arbitrarily like it.
gollark: https://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki is what I use now, it's a selfhosted open source wiki with decent plugin support.
gollark: https://tiddlywiki.com/ is neat, https://github.com/athensresearch/athens/ could be good but is very experimental, https://obsidian.md/ is not open source but apparently runs on a directory of local markdown files so you don't have lockin issues, https://github.com/logseq/logseq apparently exists but I've never used it and it has a closed source backend, https://foambubble.github.io/foam/ is nice if you like VSCode.
