Zim - A Desktop Wiki

https://zim-wiki.org 🔗
"Zim is a graphical text editor used to maintain a collection of wiki pages. Each page can contain links to other pages, simple formatting and images. Pages are stored in a folder structure, like in an outliner, and can have attachments. Creating a new page is as easy as linking to a nonexistent page. All data is stored in plain text files with wiki formatting. Various plugins provide additional functionality, like a task list manager, an equation editor, a tray icon, and support for version control."

Zim is the beast that I am currently using to build this set of online resources, digital tools and information.

What it does do that I like is export to HTML so I can then upload the HTML files, style them with CSS and push them to production to create https://minimal.click




Alternatives to Zim that might be OS/FOSS but they don't seem to do all the things I want them to do and have the correct licensing.

At some point I'm going to build my own when I get to that stage of skill in a programming language. It's the only way to get what I need. And so this is one of the reasons why I'm learning Python
