    I've been loving writing raw markdown files with the program Obsidian:

    https://obsidian.md/

    The files stay on your machine, so you can take the data and leave if you ever want to use a different program. Obsidian has a tagging feature and the ability to directly link one file, even a specific part of a file, to another.

    Check it out!

  • TiddlyWiki

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

    I’ve been using tiddylwiki for decades. It’s easy of use diminished a bit during the time of enhanced browser security (self saving single file html page), though modern browsers are beginning to provide this feature safely, as well as there being a number of alternative ways to run things (desktop app, iOS/android, service, browser plugins, etc.)

    No bloat!
