It's also all self-contained within one folder, but I can stick it behind a server and access the files from wherever. Without having to rely on syncing tools like nextcloud.
Tiddlywiki is actively developed and has a healthy amount of plugins, including a mindmap like plugin.
I want to put in a good word for zim-wiki here. Its a shame the Windows port seems to be on indefinite hiatus for now. Its by far the easiest GUI-based wiki to deal with, easily handles just dropping in files into a hierarchy and simply working with them after a refresh. Sorry but being able to use a mouse to navigate a wiki beats out a keyboard-based wiki any time. https://zim-wiki.org/
I've been working on the new user interface for Emvi [1] for the past three months or so and once you have build the muscle memory, you can use it blindly. You can read about it here [2] if you like and find current screenshots/gifs on Twitter [3].
One thing that might have turned people away from learning keyboard controls is that they get overwhelmed by a ton of different shortcuts. We (hopefully) solved this issue by using commands (words) you can type out instead of remembering two or more keys.

Zim has its good points, but the biggest problem I have with it is the inability to wrap lines shorter than the full monitor width. On a 13" laptop, it's usable; on a widescreen desktop monitor it just doesn't work. Other wikis like tiddlywiki, pmwiki, and dokuwiki are able to avoid this.
Is this anything like "org mode" for Vim? I am not an org mode user, but I've heard people gush over it.
With all the posts on HN about paid personal knowledge bases like Roam I'm excited to see a free and open one leveraging my favorite editor.
Check out org-roam. It does have the emacs string attached but I've been using doom emacs with it (for vim keybindings) and the learning curve is 100% worth it. 3 weeks in and I haven't looked back here.
After originally using vim-wiki, and then slowly progressing through a dozen or so personal wiki software tools ( all FOSS ), about a year ago I settled on Tiddlywiki.

But, I recently dumped all my vimwiki markdown files into Obsidian and have really been enjoying that experience. Same local files with an upgraded visual experience and some neat linking features.
It has basic vim bindings, unlike roam and others, and that makes all the difference. I just wish I could use vim keybindings to switch between panes but I hope they’ll address that at some point.

I just started a project to get 0.70 running for windows on my own machine. If I’m successful, I will share with the community.
I’ve been using vimwiki for a while now and it seems to fit the way I work the best of all the options out there.
