Gollum VS notable

Arguably something like ikiwiki or gollum is doing this. These are both wikis that use git as their backend 'database'. I happen to like wikis like this a lot better over wikis that store their data in mysql or some other traditional SQL backend.

Gollum is self-hosted and uses git for version control https://github.com/gollum/gollum

https://github.com/gollum/gollum ?

For something quick and easy consider https://github.com/gollum/gollum#markups which powers Github Wikis.

Note that multi-user auth is NOT supported out of the box however.

That seems something in the ballpark of my favorite wiki software:

Edit and view pages as a normal markdown wiki. But the backend is just a git repository of markdown files so you can also just use your text editor and git pull/push. Usable by any novice but with the ideal power user interface.

I'm currently using Gollum Wiki in this way. It reads from a git repository, formats the markdown files nicely, and has a limited editor that is useful in a pinch.

I use Gollum, it's very simple but fits my needs.

Gollum would be an excellent solution. It's a web interface to a directory of markdown (or other formats), backed by git. Easy to sync the plain text files on your own devices (e.g. Syncthing) while still having a public web interface for school/work computers.

Gollum could meet the need. Logseq might work as well; here's a potential guide to self-hosting.

And I was confusing it with https://notable.app/

I tried many note-taking apps and finally settled on Notable[0]. It's simple and you can point it to a folder with markdown files and attachments. Plus, you can just sync the folder using any syncing service, and use Noteless[1] on Android. And the tagging support is superb.

Because of the simple folder structure, you can also use vim+fzf to search/navigate your notes. The notational-fzf-vim plugin[2] is superb for that.

For web-clipping, I just use the markdownload[3] extension in firefox and save the markdown file in the notes folder.

Why not joplin? Mostly because joplin stores notes in an sqlite database instead of a simple folder structure making it not easily accessible by normal unix tools and editors.

Why not obsidian? Was never able to grok obsidian. In notable, I can tag a note as Books/CS, and CS/Books, and it'll show up in corresponding folder-like structures in the left panel.

0. https://notable.app/

Oh and the dev also did his own comparison table - you might like to compare it to yours!

I use https://notable.app/ for my notes, backup the notes / setup on a private github repo which I share with the Mac / Linux versions I use. Been working really well.
