TheAlgorist··on Looking 4 open-source knowledge base and project management tool 4 personal use
Thanks for the tip. I see myself doing that for my own devices, but public libraries have strict restrictions on their systems, so local stuff is no go, I need a browser frontend.

I've concluded that top recommendations for a "lighter" project management software (with document support) would be something like Plane, AppFlowy, Huly, or Leantime. If neither of those satisfy me, I'll fall back to spreadsheet + Silverbullet.

Thank you for your reply.

After hours of digging, I am hesitantly about to try Plane by Makeplane, it's the only one I've found that explicitly advertise itself as a project manager AND wiki, while not looking as entrepreneurial as OpenProject, at first Glance.

As for Obsidian, it fails at being accessible remotely (without extra tools) by nature of being a desktop app, not good when all you have access to is a public computer.

A part of me thinks that maybe I am overreaching and should settle to a simple spreadsheet + wiki system for basic project management.

I remain open for suggestions.
