  • Technically easy. A baseline wiki is not a particularly complicated application.

    The challenge, as always, is shifting the user base, especially content writers, when starting from a small knowledge base. You would need to offer a significantly better experience - or KYM would need to suffer serious enshittification - to have a real hope of doing that.

    IMO the one feature that might make an alternative stand out is contextual knowledge surfacing. In other words, if a meme is mentioned in content somewhere, the explanation is automatically made available to the reader without needing to leave the current site/page. Kinda like how some glossary systems work, or Viva Topics before MS stupidly killed it.

    Imagine thinking that’ll be the biggest date-related computing problem for a galactic society.

    If you really want to make programmers despair, point out:

    • massive variations in day, month and year lengths on different worlds.
    • some worlds may not have “months” (no moons, or many moons).
    • ambiguous definition of “year” for multi-star systems.
    • days may be longer than years (hello Venus).
    • communication latency across interstellar distances.
    • tine dilation.
