Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Possibly more secure on web server
Due to the lack of a built-in editor MDwiki may be less susceptible to spam and defacement compared to other options when served from a web server.
Pro Doesn't require a web server
MDwiki is a self-contained JavaScript app that is very fast and can run in some web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox.
Pro Free and open source software
Pro Note encryption
Pro Excellent WYSIWYG interface
Pro Attributes that can be assigned to nodes and inherited
Pro Note versioning
Pro Synchronization with a server
You can set up synchronization but you need a server to do this.
Pro Graph of node connectivity
Pro Database storage rather than files
This enables the tool to do a lot of things that would be difficult with plain text file storage.
Pro Archival functionality
Cons
Con External program must be used for editing
A separate program must be used to make changes to documents as MDwiki lacks a built-in editor.
Con Requires additional permissions in Google Chrome
Supposedly, you can get it to work in Google Chrome by modifying JavaScript permissions, but these same changes may decrease security.
Con Interface can be confusing
There is a fair amount of flexibility to the interface but it can also become confusing, especially when some parts are not necessarily simple to use. Most of the basic features nevertheless are intuitive.
Con Database storage rather than files
This makes it a little less simple to work with (also has benefits).
Con Not markdown
It will import and export markdown but it does not store content as markdown. This isn't necessarily a problem if you don't need it.
Con Synchronization requires use of Trilium's sync server
This can be problematic to set up unless you have a web server that will support the requirements of this.
