So for folks like &lt;@305044217393053697&gt; who are comfortable with wikis already, they add marginal value IMO.<br /> <br /> Their technical predecessors in the &quot;personal (vs. collaborative) wiki&quot; space include [[TiddlyWiki]] and [[emacs org-mode]] (and inherit their technical extensibility: many users create their own extensions of the notebooks' functionality. an example is the [[Roam Discourse Graph extension]] that &lt;@824740026575355906&gt; is using). <br /> <br /> These tools also tend to trace their idea lineage back to vannevar bush's [[Memex]] and ted nelson's [[Xanadu]].<br /> |Link=https://discord.com/channels/1029514961782849607/1040600256485797889/1040628364735680572<br /> }}</div>
