NoteWiki in the news

Although we haven't hit CNN yet, mention NoteWiki on your blog, and I'll try to capture it here.

14 February 2005 - Triple Entendre tags NoteWiki as wiki windows on del.icio.us.

5 February 2005 - Techne (Korea) on the Mentalese blog says this about NoteWiki: 이것도. I imagine he or she is pointing out how it doesn't support Unicode (and therefore Korean). This is due to my use of Microsoft's ASCII-only control. Feel free to recompile it with a newer version -- the source code is included in the download.

22 December 2004 - Leslie S Russell calls NoteWiki "the little ant that moved the rubbertree plant".

21 November 2004 - wiki.pagina.nl (Netherlands) mentions NoteWiki on its list of personal wikis.

10 October 2004 - Stefan Svartling blogs about NoteWiki. He says, "This is a really interesting program. Consider that you could have your own personal wiki as a small .exe file, that you could take with you on diskette." (my translation).

14 January 2004 - Stefan Keinz posts a comment on my blog. He says, "NoteWiki is really nice and easy, thanks!"

December 2003 - Many comments appear on the Wiki page after the first release of NoteWiki.

Author

Matt Ryall wrote NoteWiki in late 2003 to see how difficult it would be to write a wiki that could:

  1. save text as you typed
  2. automatically hyperlink as you typed.

It turns out it wasn't that hard. See the code included in the download.

Bugs, suggestions and other things are dealt with on the Wiki page.
