# Personal wiki tooling

To anyone else thinking about a tool - I've fizzled out before with a wiki because of endless tool hunting.  If that's happening to you, I'd honestly say just start with plain text (**maybe** markdown) - just make sure you can write your ideas somewhere.  Then progressively enhance.

## NAQ

(never asked questions)


### Why not Roam, Notion, etc?

In general I try to avoid [[silos]] and prefer an [[IndieWeb]].  And I prefer to use [[libre software]].
