Wiki.js
Slightly related PSA:<p>Everyone should consider running a wiki locally just for yourself. It&#x27;s like being able to organize your brain. I just got into it two days ago and basically spent the whole weekend dumping things into it in a way I can actually browse and revisit, like the short stories I&#x27;d written, spread out across Notes.app and random folders.<p>You don&#x27;t need to run WAMP, MySQL, Apache, phpmyadmin or anything. Here are the steps for someone, like me, who hadn&#x27;t checked in a while:<p>0. `$ brew install php` (or equiv for your OS)<p>1. Download the wiki folder and `cd` into it<p>2. `$ php -S localhost:3000`<p>3. Visit <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;localhost:3000&#x2F;install.php" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;localhost:3000&#x2F;install.php</a> in your browser<p>I tried DokuWiki at first (has flat file db which is cool). It&#x27;s simpler, but I ended up going with MediaWiki which is more powerful, and aside from Wikipedia using it, I noticed most big wikis I use also use it (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.uesp.net&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Main_Page" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.uesp.net&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Main_Page</a>). MediaWiki lets you choose Sqlite as an option, so I have one big wiki&#x2F; folder sitting in my Dropbox folder symlinked into my iCloud folder and local fs.<p>Really changing my life right now. The problem with most apps is that they just become append-only dumping grounds where your only organizational power is to, what, create yet another tag?<p>My advice is to just look for the text files scattered around your computer and note-taking apps and move them into wiki pages. As you make progress, you will notice natural categories&#x2F;namespaces emerging.<p>I just wish I started 10 years ago.
