Got tired of it and spent another afternoon writing some bare Python CGI that implements the subset of werc’s functionality that I care about. Spent an afternoon trying to fix werc but my rc foo wasn’t exactly top notch after two years of not using it.

I revisited it a few years later when containers supposedly helped solve that. Not self-contained, I had to care after a pretty complex stack. There were a bunch of WYSIWYG editor add-ons – like all in-browser WYSIWYG editors, all of them were really terrible. Spent quite some time migrating data from gitit to it. As soon as one of them isn’t packaged by whatever distribution I’m using, it’s bad. I don’t use Haskell, and don’t really care about it. Unfortunately, it drags a ton of Haskell-related dependencies. I loved it because it’s self-contained and Git-managed – I can write everything from a real text editor, not some in-browser thing. DidiWiki, I think? I liked it because it was small and self-contained.Worked great until I had to add schematics & co. It looks like it’s a lot of it because I tried all this over a span of 15-20 years or so. ![]()
