For me, the planned "Feather Wiki Nest" tool is the most interesting, as an internet-accessible, editable, organised set of notes is a killer-app.

I currently use Noteself (tiddlywiki + local / remote database saving function) for this, and it's an excellent solution that I'd be loathe to migrate away from. The main issue is having to setup and host a CouchDB instance, but once it works it works well. If 'Feather Wiki Nest' has a lower barrier to entry than Noteself, then I could see it being very popular.

Whilst I use Noteself for personal notes and life organisation, I may use Featherwiki as a blog platform, just to keep a thicker separation between the two (I've previously considered using Noteself for blog content to then publish as static HTML).



Pro tip: For the present you could use widdly https://gitlab.com/opennota/widdly with tiddlywiki for the db saving which is a damn simple set up. You could use caddy as reverse proxy when hosting on a VPS. On my home system I have a custom widdly and a full bells and whistles TiddlyWiki. I use it also on a server to share ideas with my partner who also has an instance.

Feather Wiki Nest is the thing I am looking forward too. It would be a single application, start it and forget it, your wiki just works. That's immense awesomeness!
