One of the things I miss the most from my Windows days was the ability to manage
my own personal wiki(s) using ZimWiki. I had a personal wiki for my journal,
to-do lists, vehicle maintenance log, that sort of thing, and then I also had a
wiki for my worldbuilding/novel writing project. I would love to be able to
start contributing to those wikis once again -- they helped keep me organized
for a very long time, and I definitely need some more organization in my life
right now.
I suppose I could still use ZimWiki -- there's a Linux version, as far as I'm
aware -- but I've gotten so used to editing in vim/nvim that I think I'd
really struggle if I had to switch back to a GUI editor that requires heavy
mouse usage. I'd prefer to keep it keyboard-only if possible, so emacs and
vim are the way to go, I think.
I've been using vim for about two years now, maybe a little longer. I've never
used emacs in my life. Unfortunately, based on the research I've done, emacs
with Org Mode is widely considered to be superior to vim-wiki for my target
use-case(s). I'll have to learn a whole new set of rules for navigating emacs,
or use a version of emacs like spacemacs or Doom emacs -- those strange
hybrid vim-emacs blends that seem to be so popular these days.
Anyways, I'm probably going into too much detail here. Suffice to say I'm going
to need to get myself a personal wiki when possible. I miss having my life in
order.
