gollark: - good contextual backlinks- small code base, can actually be read, also lightweight- simple Markdown support instead of horrible, *horrible* custom wikitext implementation- cooler login page- single user design
gollark: It's good because it has cool features, not too much code, and a fairly nice UI.
gollark: Failure to justify opinion → absolutely wrong in all ways → Minoteaur best wiki-styled vaguely graph-structured server-rendered Nim-based note-taking application.
gollark: Why?
gollark: It's good.
