Yeah, I would love to be able to do something like that, as long as it’s not too labour-intensive to set up and maintain and if at least some basic wiki functions are working, such as links between pages, images, files (mainly PDFs), and some kind of tags. But I’d miss some of the more advanced features of CT.

This then makes me think that maybe the easiest thing would be to try to turn my Windows laptop with CT on it into a ‘server’ by leaving it permanently on at home, and just use my Chromebook to connect to it remotely using Chrome Remote Desktop (CRD).

Unfortunately I didn’t find CRD 100% reliable when I tried this in the past, and it’s terrible to be in the middle of a meeting wanting to show others something just to find out that CRD can’t connect for some inexplicable reason.

It doesn’t help that my employer doesn’t allow such connections on its network, so I’d need to use my own mobile broadband connection, which costs money.

But maybe it’s worth trying again, as my Chromebook is a lot lighter to carry around than my Windows laptop.
