I just had to share this one!

Notable is a user-friendly tool designed for managing and editing your personal wiki.
It is a single executable that embeds feather.wiki, a versatile, lightweight and accessible wiki tool.
I created this as a quick solution when I couldn't find a local personal-wiki tool that fit my needs.

Find Notable here:

Thanks for this tool. Is there a more user-friendly way to quit the wiki server other than killing it from the task manager?

I have a dumb question: what's a personal wiki? I know what a wiki is, and I know what personal means, but I'm not seeing how the two connect.

Perhaps the term "Private Wiki" is better.
Wikipedia defines a personal wiki as:
A wiki software that allows individual users to organize information on their desktop or mobile computing devices in a manner similar to community wikis, but without collaborative software or multiple users.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal…

Wiki for a single user

Personally, I use it to store information about what I'm working on (research, tips and tricks, discoveries..etc) in a structured format using pages, intra-page links, tables..etc.
And it is stored on my OneDrive, so I can read it on the go.

That's actually a really cool idea. I never would have thought of it. Thanks!

Have you considered using Redbean for this? Tat would allow for true portability, with one executable file across all platforms. redbean.dev

redbean

single file distributable web server
redbean.dev

That's actually an excellent idea. I'll keep it in mind for future improvements.
I didn't plan for this, it was a 30 minute excursion.

Very nice! It might be good to add some kind of interface that stops the server when you're done or re-open the wiki after you've closed it, otherwise it appears to just live in the background and open multiple instances if you open the executable again (at least in Windows).

@FeatherWiki
I think an extension is a good option to implement that.
Will work on it ASAP.

I think only a single instance is running at the time. Subsequent instances eventually die as they try to bind to the same port.
