Twinwiki is cute. I love sed, and it was quite clever. But it was oh, so hard to use. I made a handful of pages and edits, it was not easy.

Thanks for experimenting!
I'm exploring something along those lines too - one complication
that gave
me some trouble I ended up needing to adjust to: how to *edit*
existing
text. Any thoughts around that?
Someone built a wiki for use over gemini. It has its own
side-protocol for
editing but I don't remember the names.
That might be "twinwiki"

Twinwiki uses sed commands to edit, which I found quite clever and
elegant. I think the
trick to making it more approachable is to have a client that allows
for normal edits but
translates those into sed commands when updating the page (diff -e ?).-- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
