Trunk Notes personal wiki closes up shop

I am a paying customer of Trunknotes since basically forever, it still lives on the home screen of my iPhone. And I do disagree that there was a lack of interest or competition. Arguably, *any* note app that can link among pages is a basic wiki already and that is one of the busiest categories on iOS and macOS.

The main problem with Trunknotes was that it was (is) perfect for the use case personal wiki on my phone but there was no counterpart on the computer. Yes, I could pair it over wifi and open the page in the browser but that is just a glorified input method with none of the actual functionality coming across to the desktop, not even basic navigation to the next page.

I firmly believe that if the developer had managed to produce a desktop version (there was a prototype years ago but long abandoned) it might be different situation today. But that is easy for me to say.
