This is fantastic. I've always used JavE before but this being a single HTML file is a big+ and packs quite a punch. Kudos to the author!
One question though, how do edit the content later? For example I generated a few diagrams one at a time and pasted those in a local plain text file. Later when I want to edit a particular diagram/part, I tried copy pasted it in, but always got "cannot paste, content leaves canvas" error. If I tried copy-pasting a really small section (e.g. 3x3 table), it pasted it right in the center. Anyway, not sure if that's an intended work flow or not. Great job regardless.

Wholeheartedly agree. Have been a happy ZimWiki user for many years now. My use-case is desktop/laptop only, don't care about mobile. ZimWiki makes it easy to export the whole notebook to markdown or html for easy static-hosting for read-only snapshots of your notes on mobile if needed.

Same here. I try to find 3-4 year old laptops with decent graphics cards. It has served well as family gaming pc (casual and retro games) and with attached external drive we can watch family videos, photos etc. Not to mention ad-blocking. Every time I'm at someone's house and have to use a phone to stream things on the TV or to use those point-n-click remotes to type things I lose patience now :)

Zim stores everything in plain-text, so plays nicely with grep and friends too.

Yes! copy/paste images and screenshots, indexing, tags, search. It's all good. I switched from OneNote to this a few years ago. The only downside someone might point out is no phone-app, but I'm in front of my computer 99% of my work-time, so phone-accessible is not a thing for me at all.
