  • First, have a look at these pages for some ideas:

    Have you ever used Midnight Commander or a filesystem browser? If you’re comfortable finding your way around a directory tree, here’s a quick and dirty example with your tickets under a folder called “issues”:

    FILENAME                            CONTENTS
    
    +--issues
    |   +--mom
    |   |   +--2023-1128-wifi
    |   |   |   +--1-title              Cannot connect to youtube
    |   |   |   +--2-computer           iMac, Mac OS 9.0, 128M RAM
    |   |   |   +--3-description        Mom said the wifi won't let her out.
    |   |   |   +--OPEN                 [empty file, not fixed yet]
    |   +--pop
    |   |   +--2023-0725-browser
    |   |   |   +--1-title              Cannot display my favorite site
    |   |   |   +--2-computer           Alien laptop, Windows 11
    |   |   |   +--3-description        Firefox is crapping all over itself.
    |   |   |   +--FIXED                [empty file, shows all good]
    |   +--sis
    |   |   +--2023-0901-ms-word
    |   |   |   +--1-title              My thesis is ruined!
    |   |   |   +--2-computer           Dell Desktop, Windows 10
    |   |   |   +--3-description        Word just mangled a file.
    |   |   |   +--OPEN                 [empty file, not fixed yet]
    

    You don’t need a bunch of separate files; I like directories in case there are screenshots, email messages, etc. Something like this would also work using (say) dokuwiki.
