What WIKI do you recommend
MoinMoin [wikipedia link] uses flat files, so does WikidPad as a personal wiki.
- Is there an app to keep track of all the details when writing a story?
-
Good open source Linux based wiki for work organization?
For an individual, I used to use WikidPad and quite like it.
-
Private Wiki Creation
There also are "serverless" wikis, like http://tiddlywiki.com/ (can be run as a standalone desktop app - see in the bottom, or Wiki on a Stick, or WikiPad
- Python 3.12.0 is to remove long-deprecated items

Ask HN: Programming Without a Build System?
Details I didn't include but should have (I wasn't sure I'd have any replies at all... I should have had more faith, sorry)
It's a bit of a ramble, sorry about that.
MSTOICAL[0] is a fork of an old C based Forth variant, it took some help from the HN community[1] to get it to compile in a modern 64 bit environment, for which I am very thankful. However, it uses AutoConf to configure, build, install, etc... and I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove all of that logic. (C isn't my primary language, I'm willing to learn that, but adding AutoConf on top of it was too much)
In order to work on that, I was willing to switch to Linux (Ubuntu)... got everything up and running for the most part, but then I couldn't access WikidPad[2], my local Wiki with my appointments, etc. I missed a doctors appointment because of that, so went back to Windows.
The issue is around wxWindows changing the names of variables in some calls. On Windows, you just download an EXE installer and you're good to go. I couldn't figure it out because the program seems to be unwilling to support newer Python versions. (I could be wrong)
I don't understand why they felt the need to make breaking changes to wxWindows, and the python is a bit too dense for me.
So finally... I'm back in Windows 10, and decided to try to craft together a twitter clone with a bunch of weird ideas that I tossed out at 3:30 am in a twitter thread, and put into a more coherent manifesto.[3]

Online World Organization for Novel
When it comes to organization I would recommend using a wiki tool. The interlinked articles in a wiki is super useful to build a web of information and help you not lose track of important details. Wikidpad is a great free desktop tool.

wikia for writers to work offline
Wikidpad is quite functional. It's not the prettiest but it does its job. I don't know if or how you can implement images. But it's free and maybe worth a try.

My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file
I've had great success with using Joplin for this, with Syncthing as a sync backend. Works well across OSes; I use it on Linux, macOS, Windows and Android.

Why I Like Obsidian
The tools to manipulate SQL aren't that bad, no.
But rather than having a self explanatory markdown & flat file, now I have to start learning about the schema & making specific tools (in my preferred language) for manipulating Joplin's schema.
Suddenly I'm digging through 20 different technic specs to decode what data is where, how it works, and what I can do to it. Want to edit history? This is the best help you'll get, pray it's adequately technical to expedite you to your purpose: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/dev/spec...
As I began with, I struggle to imagine anything that generates anywhere near as much user agency as flat files and markdown. Having boring common data & systems lets me apply portable skills I already have, rather than having to skill up in some particular product's own ecosystem.

IAC sold 17 apps to Bending Spoons. $100M deal, all 330 employees fired
Joplin is a good open source option too, feels more like the original Evernote in terms of UI/UX https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/

Ask HN: What do you use for note-taking or as knowledge base?
Joplin, an open source, extendable, Markdown-based hierarchical note-taking app: https://joplinapp.org/
It lets you choose a synchronization backend, offers applications for every major desktop and mobile OS (also has a terminal version). You can create notebooks and subnotebooks to organize your notes. You can also add tags for better search experience. I created notebooks for specific domains (work-related, home improvement, etc.) and also keep a "temp" for quick notes and W.I.P. snippets.
Its only con that it uses Electron on desktop which causes relatively slow start of the application.
