From one of these user's most recent posts here https://j3s.sh/thought/blogs-rot-wikis-wait.html:

  p.s. i'm working on a new wiki to replace my website with - something new, from the ground up.

  git.j3s.sh/abyss - stay tuned

I wonder if they'll still be using a similar approach for the new site.

View on HN

it's still in the works, but here's the plan:

- written in golang, one binary

- custom markup lang

- very short urls (https://j3s.sh/$pagename)

- pages are saved as text-files-written-to-disk with git autocommits (similar to mycorrhiza[0])

- "blocks" that process parts of pages differently - similar to edna[1]

- pages editable via web interface (rudimentary phone support)

- autolinks between pages

- simple picture upload interface (^V with a pic in clipboard will upload the pic + paste appropriate markup)

- single user system, intended as a personal knowledge base

this system will replace https://j3s.sh and https://abyss.j3s.sh eventually -- all old links will redirect to the new wiki. it's been quite an undertaking, but i think the end result will be worth it :3

See my comment upthread; I'm very curious why PHP would not have worked for you.

because i don't enjoy working with PHP
