What a fantastic journey that I have, round and about, fabulous!
In late March, I started a project to write and I chose a quite unusual format, the plain text. Which works quite well in Vim, at least for the text part, but the trouble is with the notes, the development and researches, and issue tracking.
For instance, the world building, the constant restructuring and lack of formating were getting out of hand. I thought it would be a good idea to switch to a wiki to handle the notes. In the beginning, I tried Bitbucket's wiki, because the text is in Git and Bitbucket provides free private repository, I have already moved and converted everything into reStructuredText.
Then, as I was trying to set up issue tracker, the lack of label support made me think twice. I went on to test out GitLab, but its wiki isn't as good as Bitbucket's.
My mind was spinning for a better solution, I needed a wiki and I was looking for one with visual editor, but there isn't a free wiki farm meeting all my requirements. One of them is free private wiki. I don't need private wiki in the future, but I need it now.
My attention turned to local wiki, I laid my eyes on MoinMoin, it looked promising, it would work fine for issue tracking and I also had WordCount plugin set, but as I was converting the text, that visual editor failed to handle blockquote properly when switch back and forth between visual and text.
What a trip for absolutely nothing, THREE-FUCKING-SIXTY.
