I think I found a solution to my Knowledge Base Archiving Problem. Instead of using all kinds of third party things which I need to keep track of and backup by myself, I found the Synology Note Station like something I could really use. First it has WYSIWYG and Paste-Image capability.It syncs to all devices, iOS, Android, PC, Mac, Web-access and I can integrate it into the automatic backup solution Hyper-drive. It works like BookStack which does not have a mobile app. So Win-Win?
@novaburst if you mean the Synology, yes. That NAS is sitting on my Desktop at home. I do sync the smartphone and laptop clients when at home, so I do have all notes with me when I leave. Can create new one on the go and sync when back at home. The biggest selling point for me is the ability to just paste screenshots which was not possible with TiddlyWiki. Bookstack does that too and some other wiki softwares as well, but only NoteStation has clients and can work offline. And if I want, I can export as PDF or even .docx or share via public URL. 1/

@novaburst but before I share via public URL, I just copy paste content and paste it ontl telegr.ph oder hedgedoc and share that. What I really needed was the ability to enter new content on the go. Syncing a TiddlyWiki via Dropbox and accessing it on the Smartphone via Quine2 was not a nice user experience.
@carsten archivism is one of my interests as well. some of the datasets i collected were becoming too large on an external spinner so i went a similar route. ended up with isci links to my machines over the mesh and introducing encryption at the file system layer.
i still don't have a good system for syncing notes and data between phone and laptop, but the phone is a glorified signal messenger so not much sleep is lost on this
@mutefall @carster I personally use git-sync via Termux (I'm on Android) to sync my todos, org-mode and notes, then I edit them with the apps Todo.txt, Orgzly and turbo editor respectively.
For my private wiki and project notes I use mkdocs with material theme which is based on markdown and let my gitlab account build and deploy on gitlab pages to be readable privately, the build simply output static files you can put everywhere though.
@mutefall I. FOUND. A. SOLUTION. to this as well. It is called WebScrapBook and is available as add-on for the major browsers. I tried it yesterday with various websites and it works extremely well. Basically it saves the webpage as it is displayed in your browser as it is while you are looking at it. Including images, video, CSS, fonts etc. (configurable). NYTimes.com works quite well.
@carsten i found a plugin that does similar with joplin. but the whole thing feels a bit heavy to me. but it's working for now.
@justamoment good call. i recently tried mkdocs but need to work on a theme that i like. started with cinder and am adjusting as i go. i do need a small wiki-like site for myself on the go.
@mutefall Yeah, all the themes available don't fits my tastes the only good ones for me are material and readmydocs, they looks good on mobile too.
The only issue is editing, quickly solved in by the edit link configuration, once set you'll see a pencil button that seems you to the remote repo edit page (gitlab in my case) so it's easy to work on it.
@justamoment might you have a repo to share for inspiration? i promise i won't steal your design
@mutefall I don't really mind, but I have some notes in it that I can't share freely, the project is basically a plain installation of mkdocs and Material for mkdocs, nothing more.
If you want I can put together an empty clone to share for everyone.
@mutefall it's ok 👍 don't worry, it can help everyone else too.
@justamoment i sincerely appreciate this. that was very nice of you.
@mutefall You're welcome, happy to be of help to anyone. 😉
