For word processing there's WordGrinder, which is in the repos for many distros (in Fedora: dnf install wordgrinder).

Ia.net: looks good to build a personal wiki with hyperlinks (which is something I def want) but I fear this can get messy after a while and can loose overview easily. Source: over 1 year ago
Thanks, it works! Could you share a link to learn more about patterns and how to use them. Unfortunately I couldn't find any info on ia.net. Source: almost 2 years ago
