    @nutomic An interesting initiative. Good luck!

    I do notice one unfortunate difference from Wikipedia immediately: Wikipedia is functional with scripts blocked, Ibis Wiki is not. I’m sure that even Wikipedia nowadays has some functions that don’t work without scripts, but a wiki that won’t even display its landing page without scripts enabled, is dead while still in the gate.

      Right, and what would also be nice is to be able to export articles in different formats, for example markdown, to conveniently read them in your favourite reader application.

      The frontend is very primitive right now, but it could definitely be made to work without JS.

        @nutomic I’d recommend that, albeit not everybody browses with scripts disabled, so not it’s not necessarily the automatic death knell I suggested.

        But 'I’m curious to see how it goes.
