Hackable (Scriptable) Markdown Wiki

[Eucaly J]

Hi all

I am starting the development of my own wiki tool.

Aim to be the fusion of Evernote and TiddlyWiki

• markdown native format

• directory tree with limited (very less) payload files

=> those markdown files could be lossly related (not like TiddlyWiki to cook them as a set)

=> very similar to the concept of Lolinote

Spec of Lolinote 2.0 - https://github.com/visig9/lolinote-spec/blob/master/spec-2.0.md

Spec 1.0 - https://bitbucket.org/civalin/lolinote/wiki/Rules%20&%20Philosophy

• Hackable (Scriptable) 

The current spec (wish list) is available at 

https://github.com/beZong/bzWiki/blob/master/doc/bzWiki-spec.md

Of course, if there's already something very similar, 

I would be very happy to save my effort for developing that.

(p.s. very likely with nodejs and/or Chrome Extension)

A lot of what you're describing sounds like running TiddlyWiki in its "server" mode: it runs with NodeJS, and keeps all the tiddlers as separate files in a single directory. Node hosts a local webserver which you access through your browser and can update tiddlers through that UI, or you can just update the flat files in the directory. TiddlyWiki has a markdown plugin, so you can write tiddlers in Markdown or have the flexibility to write in other syntaxes too. That setup is actually what I personally use for my private notes, and that allows me to commit the whole directory tree to Git, so those flat file changes are version-controlled too. Accessing the running server through the UI allows you to Save/Export the wiki as a single-file TiddlyWiki file, which is a great way to export different versions of the whole wiki, or give people a copy of the wiki without them needing to be able to set up a Node environment on their workstation too.
