Shaarli VS zim-desktop-wiki

I think about rate-limiting from an unprivileged user perspective and saw it first at https://github.com/sebsauvage/Shaarli/blob/master/index.php#.... So e.g. fail2ban is not an option. And the application has to deal with it.

I care more about load/DOS than actual crack success. What means the firewall is the sensible place. Not the application.

Or just take the risk, make backup/restore simple and do intrusion detection by monitoring a dedicated endpoint with e.g. https://updown.io/44q5 and let things happen for the sake of simplicity.

Hm. (I'm doing a federated, single-user microblog engine targeting laypersons. A proof of concept is at https://codeberg.org/mro/ShaarliGo)

I'll slightly modify your argument; because Pure HTML does suck:

Why don't people make static sites with a simple "Markdown-or-Similar to HTML" converter, CSS, and vanilla JS...etc?

(This is what I do, btw -- http://zim-wiki.org + a template)

You should add Zim [1] to the "Personal Knowledge Management" section :)

And I just tweaked the CSS and added a bit of logic to included the possibility of one image per slide; as well as editing slides not with raw HTML but with https://zim-wiki.org (because that's what I'm really used to, I'm sure any Markdown thing would work just as well).

Absolutely; recently I realize I wish I'd never learned vim. I use too many other programs that are at least CUA-ish ( http://zim-wiki.org is the most important app I use ) and now I kind of want out. I haven't yet tried Modeless Vim, but that looks like my next experiment.

It is so hard not to feel REALLY SMUG reading stuff like this, as someone who has run my own website as the working primary source for my college instruction for the past 15 years or so using https://zim-wiki.org. (before Markdown was much of a thing!)

It's borderline bizarre to have watched this method of doing things kind of die out, and then also come back in the form of "static site generators" -- which, frankly, are still way clunkier than this.

Write in Zim, export to html, rsync to site. Easy.

FWIW, I've been using http://zim-wiki.org for YEARS. (Sites a little messy and I need to clean it up, but it's extremely functional,) I host my college classes websites from it, to the point that I forced myself to learn the Canvas API, to just clone the page from this site to the front page of Canvas and change the links so they come back here.
