Federated Wiki
MassiveWiki links A Markdown-based wiki; the Obsidian Project is a client. Obsidian felt awkward at out-of-box; maybe a video intro would be more convincing? Update on Obsidian: a useful linked notes tool for the Writing the Other workshop, Crafting Diverse Relationships. 2024-2025: used at Apptio/IBM as a daily notebook and programmer's reference.
Personal wiki for Zettelkasten or organizing learning, maybe Gollum Wiki (also Markdown-based). TiddlyWiki is yet lively as an alternative personal wiki.
Computational Notebooks, including Jupyter, Observable, Glamorous Toolkit.
Literate programming more generally
Navigable information spaces
Plugin based computing environments (shallowly, as FedWiki, vs. Eclipse)

Image Compositing environments. The ones you know or know of include:
* PaperJS - a scene is an object tree with nodes and modifiers, rendered into an HTML5 canvas. The Exocolonist Memory Card Creator uses PaperJS. * JIMP Javascript Image Processing Library. PixieReport uses Jimp image composition to avoid external binary dependencies. * Java AWT/Swing libraries (Canvas2D) which are a little clunky but are nice to work with in the JRuby interactive command line. * SVGs. Just saying. They're rather like PaperJS, and the engine is already there in your browser. * What does Picrew use for authoring? Is there a format and are there various authoring tools? (mostly looks like: single site and guides) * And then there's ImageMagick at [v6](https://legacy.imagemagick.org/) for Debian, or [v7](https://imagemagick.org/). * Don't forget [Observable](https://observablehq.com/) whether notebooks or framework.
