Seems like you can use this and mirror in Git/GitHub as well. https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/inout.wiki https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/inout.wiki.
Builtin UI looks OK. (Usable and easy to navigate actually). But I was hoping the UI support commit as well. (I could not figure this out in UI). (so you don't have to mix command line and web interface to get things done)
I think if we can build a wrapper UI around fossil (which allows open, init, commit, sync?, sync-with-git, start-web-interface) (or even better add it to fossil itself).
Then, this would be highly helpful to less-techy or non-devs that code (bio, math, data-science, etc) to maintain Jupyter notebooks,etc. Hmm, but perhaps a simple git-ui client can be used for that as well. (but you will loose the builtin wiki/tickets). And ability to work locally is useful as well (but then git can do that too). In any case I have seen less-techy people shy away from git (or version control in general).
I can see the potential in builtin wiki and tickets in same repo. One file to backup is also interesting.
