  • TiddlyWiki

    A self-contained JavaScript wiki for the browser, Node.js, AWS Lambda etc.

    • Most LMS are overkill; I just want to make very simple "digital textbooks". BookStack and mdBook are nice but lack quizing and annotations. In worst case, I can make my own solution with TiddlyWiki I guess, but I wonder if someone knows about relevant software or good search terms?:) Perhaps some blogging platforms are as good as wikis?

  • gitbook

    The open source frontend for GitBook doc sites

    • Not sure if you still can but you used to be able to use GitBook with your own git repository. Would that fit your needs?

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • twinejs

    Twine, a tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories

    • Inkle or Twine probably cover what you want to do.
