💡 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
