Excellent :-)

I just looked through the other repositories and found the vim script [1] which kinda fits my personal workflow :-D

I really like what you are building.

Another Go project that provides a self-hosted wiki is https://github.com/schollz/rwtxt and rwtxt uses Sqlite for data storage. It may be worth your while to consider that source code.

Why SQL at all? Are there so many relations in the database, that a relational model is a need? Since it has a "social" component, it may be, but I just wanted to place a quick question, without analyzing the project.

Thank you.

What other data storage do you suggest in place?

Since I do not know the data he stores, and in which way (model), I can not comment on this. This is why I asked.

If I'd be to do something similar (actually, I do) I'd use an XML (document) backend, like eXist or BaseX along with XSLT, XQuery and REST.
