    Instead of a personal wiki I chose to use a personal git repo for notes, which can be built as a static website if I want. Saving a link takes anywhere from a few seconds (saving it to a markdown file) to a few seconds more (committing that file to the repo and pushing).

    The structure and concept of the notes repo is basically the same as your wiki.

    I still save webpages I want to read later locally with Wallabag. Websites are in many ways an ephemeral thing, what you want to read later might not be there later.

      Do you have a good app to edit that on mobile? I remember that I’ve looked into that before (more for a jekyll blog than notes but same idea) and I couldn’t find anything that I liked…

      … which is something I could add to my open questions article!

        I used Obsidian for a bit but recently switched to Markor which I quite like.

        I do all the git stuff via cli on Termux. To be fair I do most of my notes on a PC so I don’t mind if the mobile experience is a bit hacky, with a couple aliases it’s easy enough. Alternatively I could edit files directly in on git server website (I run a self hosted git server but ymmv). For the major git servers like Github there are probably apps that make it more comfortable.

        The markdown files are appropriately structured so I can run Hugo (config and layout files in a separate repo for tidiness sake) and get a static site build.

          I host my own GitLab so using its web IDE is an option. A proper offline solution for mobile would be cool though, especially because situations in which I don’t have my laptop with me tend to overlap with situations where I don’t have a proper internet connection, especially on local trains.

            In terms of the offline solution I just edit Markdown files wherever whenever, and commit to the remote repo when possible or necessary.
