gollark: I mostly prefer to get sort-of-working things done first, and tweak them until they work better, myself. Your thing seems interesting.
gollark: The sidebar bit is going to eventually contain stuff like search and quick shortcuts, but I haven't actually implemented that.
gollark: The current version isn't actually on there because I... don't really know how to use git very well, and it's quite unfinished, and the old version is designed very differently. I have this picture, though, showing its rough UI so far, the markdown rendering capability, and the "recent pages" bit at the side (I might move that).
gollark: I'm using dokuwiki for this now but it's pretty annoying in some ways; my thing has gotten as far as "you can create, edit and view pages", at least.
gollark: That vaguely reminds me of my current eternally unfinished project, actually. I'm making a wiki-styled personal note taking thing.
