Fun that you mention that, I happen to run my personal site, as well as another wiki for my Pokémon-related fanwork, and an internal kb wiki on my job, all on Dokuwiki. Used to advertise the engine more on Reddit back in the day, too. And sure it's quite lightweight and operable (I can edit articles remotely, manage remotely and do lots of cool stuff). Its just, from my experience so far, while it's extremely well-suited for the workflow of a wiki, it's not so much for the "post-it note" workflow, not even with additions like the Blog plugin.
Perhaps I have to yet tune it further. I guess it's time to Do Science.
Oh super cool, yeah checking out your Dokuwiki personal website it just reminds me how much I like the software. The UI of pages is so simple and clean and Dokuwiki is so easy to setup I honestly don’t see the reason to really go with a normal website over using Dokuwiki unless you have very specific needs (especially because with the farm/animal plugin or whatever you can host multiple different wikis on the same website).
I don’t think Dokuwiki is perfect for what you want though but it is so lightweight and customizable that I originally mentioned it to suggest considering if you can tweak your workflow to make it work.
Have you looked at Logseq? It is a free and open source personal wiki/knowledge base with a great mobile app. The structure is every day has its own page that you add notes to, you then link to other pages to create them and move on to editing those pages like a normal wiki. Might be a little closer to what you are looking for.

Yeah honestly sometimes Dokuwiki feels like it's the Konami cheat code for "simple good personal website". I'm like, why would anyone bother with stuff like, dunno, Wordpress, or Github Pages.
My hoster has been so nice to get me access to the docker on-site, so I'm gonna be testing stuff for a few days. I can't take a look at logseq until the weekend alas, due to work suddenly being work.
