💡 Been tinkering with decentralized wikis lately… Here's what I've been thinking about:

Self hosting Gollum and it uses Git

Git is not just a “file storage” mechanism here — it’s the entire backend.

Git handles:

Version control → Every change to a page is a Git commit.

History → You can roll back to earlier versions of a page.

Collaboration → Multiple people can pull/push to the same repo.

Branching → You can have experimental wiki branches without breaking the main one.

Diff tracking → See exactly what changed in each edit.

Gollum is basically a friendly frontend to a Git repo. If you close Gollum, you can still edit your wiki by just editing Markdown files and committing them manually.

---

* Run **Gollum** locally like usual.

* Keep your `.git` folder **in Git-Nostr or PKARR**.

* Fetch and merge updates **over decentralized networks**.

Result? A wiki that’s fully **Gollum-compatible** but **not tied to GitHub or any single server**.

Your content, your control, no central point of failure.

I can already imagine syncing pages between friends without worrying about servers going down… feels like the “One Ring” of wiki resistance. 🌐💻🔄

Gollum can be used in a Chat client - server model

I am working on a new system (author of Pkarr) that promises short names and stable resolution even if you don't republish as often... Let me know if you are curious about that, I am trying to get feedback and engage people earlier this time.
