I still don't know which software I should use to build a personal knowledge management system (PKM). Dokuwiki seems nice, I know it well but I can't figure out, why media uploads are not working. TiddlyWiki is awesome, super flexible but media uploads are terrible. Bookstack is nice, nice editor, but I keep spending a lot time figuring out, in which book should I add this piece of information. MediaWiki, baah too old, WikiJS too complicated..... maybe wordpress? Just post things and tag them, including media upload. mmhhh....
@carsten I'm actually finding HedgeDoc to be quite a good tool for this personally.

@prologic how do you use organise with hedgedoc?
@mutefall Appropriate tags using the YAML frontmatter support .

@carsten Probably https://obsidian.md/ is right up your alley. You'd still need to find a way to publish your stuff, should you do it, or else it works well locally.
@carsten what I actually often do in my projects Is always have a docs folder with markdown inside and with a docker I generate a site out of it thanks to mkdoc (or some others static site generator)

@prologic had no idea this worked. hat-tip
@retronav i had tried obsidian for a bit but ended up with joplin until i finish my text-file organisation system.
@prologic I do like it as well, but search and binary data is not a thing and I do not to attach documents from time to time. Haven't found a good solution to that yet. I tried with FileBrowser and describing the internal path to the file location in the document, but it is just too inconvenient for me. Beside that, I have quite a lot of information saved there over the last 2 years, since I joined envs.net
@tkanos I also tested Notion.so. After two weeks I had fiddled more with the sheer endless amount of options than producing anything useful or using it in a way that i makes sense to me. But I do like the concept of it and the look. But for me, it just tries to be an _egg-laying-milk-giving-woll-producing-pig_. To many things you can do. TL;DR: I got lost in trying out to design something instead of filling it with information.
@tkanos But maybe, I will give it another try.
@retronav I also tried Obsidian. Just don't like it. But maybe I have a problem with organizing my stuff into categories instead of just tagging them. I still find it difficult to put things into folder where the information might belong to multiple topics.
@tkanos I do like the approach of this, I do not get myself into the habit to go through notes on my phone and transferring them into another system. Maybe I just have not written it clearly in the first place or was not able to express myself correctly. What I am maybe looking for is a system to hoard things. Why? I don't know, I just have the feeling to archive data... #obsession?
@tkanos Good Morning tkanos. I just wanted to give you a small update: after trying this and also working with Bear.app and Obsidian, I went all in with Apple Notes. It is not markdown, which I do not like, but the all the others things actually make up for it. First I can access them an all platforms via web-browser (still lacks Tags but that's ok), I can send things via short note from iOS and macOS, full text search and OCR work almost perfect.
@carsten That's amazing we're yarning about something 3 weeks old 😂 I _think_ I missed this somehow... Have you considered HedgeDoc at all? Maybe SyncThing for "sycning"? I haven't given it too much though myself... I'm kind of curious if what you're after is something others would want too? 🤔

@carsten as lon as you found the one that is good for you. I used apple notes for a while too is a good multipurpose tool. Lately I was using trello with Getting things done methodology.
