[olav]

This is actually the use case I have in mind when I think of moving my personal knowledge management system knowfox to something more enduring like fossil.

It currently is built on php/mysql with laravel with a web ui in bootstrap. This has become super annoying for a few years now because once a year or so I have to port it to a new version of laravel and cope with the new javascript framework du jour that it now promotes.

This would be fine, of course, if you run an agency which extracts money from clients for continuous upgrades, but not for a personal project.

Fossil, on the other hand, is built for longevity. It is a single executable and comes with all tools built in.
