I think the most prominent functionality is the mind-mapping. Wikis, AFAICT, don’t have that. If you’re visually inclined, having the graph layout and being able to traverse / see the connections could be useful.
The output is in SVG format, but the cool thing about SVGs is that they (a) can have hyperlinks in them, and (b) can be displayed in the browser. So the generated SVG is displayed in your browser, and each of the nodes are links to the wikipage the node represents, so you can indeed use it to navigate the wiki.

Also, yeah, this runs locally.
Oh, but they do.
Oh cool, I’m really unfamiliar with wikis, so I didn’t know about these.
It’s awesome that this functionality exists.
I only briefly glanced at both links, but I think they just output a static graph, is that right?
I guess maybe someone might prefer also using the graph for interactive traversal.

Oh, nice! I didn’t realize that hyperlinks were there too. In that case, yup, I can see that it does basically the same thing.
