For me the main requirements are:

* Backed up to cloud

* Has a mobile app that is easy to make small changes (for example if I'm doing an oil change on my car I need to be able to pull out my phone and log it in the wiki easily)

* Simple file format like markdown so that you're not locked into something proprietary (no need for crazy formatting options like MSWord)

* Option to export data out as a backup

* Allow uploading arbitrary files like PDFs, images, receipts etc...

* Nice to have: support for inline tables of data with simple calculations/sorting","time":1778179392,"title":"Ask HN: What is your go-to solution for a personal wiki in 2026?","type":"story"}],[48063759,{"by":"shantnutiwari","descendants":20,"id":48063759,"kids":[48064105,48064476,48075066,48067004,48067678,48069770,48064414,48063952,48065361,48069684,48065136,48069683],"score":9,"text":"Every post that reaches the top of HN will have at least a few comments saying "This is LLM!"

It has become a proxy for "I don't like this article, so it must be a LLM"

To me, it feels like lazy karma farming, as these comments often do get a few upvotes.

And of course, accuse a 100 posts if being LLM, you are guaranteed to be right at least once, then like astrologers you can claim success.

Is there anything we can do to discourage this type of lazy and low effort posting?","time":1778250513,"title":"Ask HN: How do we handle the rise of low quality \"This is LLM\" comments?","type":"story"}]]
