Dokuwiki as Connected Text Replacement

While that’s all true about the possibility of installing Linux and running Dokuwiki locally on a Chromebook, to me the opposite is the main attraction, i.e. running Dokuwiki from a hosting company’s server so that I don’t need to worry about any of the technical aspects of installation, maintenance, backups etc. and can access Dokuwiki via a web browser from any of my devices, including Chromebooks.

I’m seriously thinking about moving all my locally stored files to Google Drive, and switching from a local EndNote database to Paperpile (which has a referencing plug-in for Google Doc), so that I could work seamlessly online, and be able to link reading notes etc. from Dokuwiki to PDFs and other docs stored on Google Drive.

It will result in new subscription payments (hosting, backup, Google Drive, Paperpile), but I may never have to buy another high-end Windows laptop again, or any expensive Windows software. My CRIMPing is moving to the cloud…
