Na, Quiver isn’t an online solution, although it’s a great macOS app. Quip is very much an online solution, but with desktop/mobile apps as well (quip.com)

What do you mean exactly? Quiver is not an online-only solution, true, but you can sync through Dropbox or Webdav.

I forgot to mention, macOS and iOS, but if true platform independence (web interface and Windows or Linux) is required then you are out of luck. Other than that, it is a mature option.

Well, that’s the point - I absolutely agree with you about Quiver, it’s one of my favourites, if the iOS app was as good as the desktop one, it’d be my go-to info management app.
But that’s not what this thread is about.

Sorry, Prion, I realise I mixed up this thread with the process management thread! I do apologise.
Quiver as alternative to wiki - maybe, but it’s very much not there yet; not until it’s got a proper iOS app.
Also, TiddlyWiki I can use, cost-free, on my Windows machines as well, using the same Firefox extension as on macOS.
Another option would be Todoist, I suppose, which can be used as a note-taking app by the very simple expedient of preceding tasks with an asterisk *, which causes the task checkbox to disappear. It’s got a very good tagging system, is highly flexible, and works across almost every platform in existence, and if not, then via the web.
However, my reasons for enjoying TiddlyWiki have to do with way you can take mini-notes (tiddlers); for some reason, I find this a very satisfying way of collecting up scraps of information.
Quiver, of course, can do more or less the same thing. Hence my frustration with the lack of writable/searchable iOS app.
