Ward Cunningham may have been using a similar UI prior to it for other projects, but he unveiled the Smallest Federated Wiki at IndieWeb Camp 2011 in late June: [2011/Smallest Federated Wiki - IndieWeb](https://indieweb.org/2011/Smallest_Federated_Wiki). I don’t have a receipt to prove it, but I have to suspect that Andy’s version was certainly influenced by Cunningham’s work.

Mike Caulfield, subsequent author of the influential _[The Garden and the Stream: a Technopastoral](https://hapgood.us/2015/10/17/the-garden-and-the-stream-a-technopastoral/)_, Iterated on the Smallest Federated Wiki and created a WordPress-based plugin shortly thereafter called Wikity that used some of the card-based UI that Obsidian comes with out of the box.

Both had some early influence on the UI-based research that the IndieWeb space has done since. For those interested, there’s also a sub-group within it focusing on digital gardens, commonplace books, Zettelkasten, etc. that can be found here: [commonplace book - IndieWeb](https://indieweb.org/commonplace_book)
