nextra VS Wiki.js

co-author here

we put in a lot of effort into our docs and we'd greatly appreciate any criticism or feedback! Langfuse is powerful but the docs should help beginners to quickly get started and then incrementally use more features.

docs are OSS, repo: https://github.com/langfuse/langfuse-docs

built using: https://github.com/shuding/nextra

However, this may just be due to the lack of proper documentation from the Nextra side of things (shoutout to Nextra though, regardless).

Nextra - Nextra is another option for creating documentation sites. While it might not be as well-known as Docusaurus, Nextra offers a modern and minimalist approach to building documentation. It is designed to be lightweight and user-friendly, making it a good choice for those who prefer a simple and clean documentation style. You can explore more about Nextra on their official website.

I have looked at https://nextra.site/ but that doesn't work with the app router yet. So I'm wondering if there's another alternative.

You could also have a look at Nextra. You can use mdx components to build your blog (including support for server-side fetching). I'm currently using their documentation template, but it seems they also have a blog template.

We write everything in Markdown, as it's the closest you'll get to a 'universal' format. Then, we use a static site generator to turn the docs into a website. Current projects are using Nextra for this. If you ever need to change site generators, you still have all the markdown docs and image files, so it's pretty easy to change.

https://nextra.site/ is nice

Today I found this tool for Next.js called Nextra. You can effortlessly create a blog post website or a documentation website. All you need is markdown. Simply export your markdown from Notion and utilize it with Nextra to enjoy all the cool features, including full-text search, syntax highlighting, dark/light mode, and even image support. Everything is generated at build time, making it a static website which is Blazingly fast. https://nextra.site/

Wiki.js is a self hosted, open source Wiki that has a lot of awesome functionality. Unfortunately it's lacking some small, but important UI features, like a light box, to enlarge downsized images to it's full size. And unless you want to add a link to each image, to open it in a new tab, you would probably go for a modal view here.

Can't think of anything that meets all the criteria, there's always some compromise, which might just be the way it is. For example I could 'self-host' otterwiki or wiki.js on a VPS for a pretty small monthly fee, which I could also use for other stuff that doesn't make sense for a home lab, but then I also need to deal with security since it's hosted on the internet. Or I could self-host and just accept that there's risk of it not being available when my wife needs it or if I die suddenly.

WikiJS as Homepage (a bit unusual, I know...)

I love PlantUML. I was always fond of it in my early days as a software engineer and still use it today, along with all the various ways to draw diagrams out there, whether it's through a web tool like draw.io or Miro or through markup like PlantUML and Mermaid.

Some stuff I'd like to share with the rest:

- PlantUML's default style has improved since the days of red/brown borders, pale yellow boxes, drop shadows and such but I've attempted fixing it before through a preset style [I've made before here](https://gist.github.com/jerieljan/4c82515ff5f2b2e4dd5122d354...). It's obsolete nowadays, since I'm sure someone has made a style generator somewhere, and last I checked, PlantUML allows a monochrome style out of the box.

- [Eraser](https://app.eraser.io) is promising, considering that it's trying to blend both diagram-as-code markup along with the usual visual diagram editor. I'm still seeing if it's worth picking up since Miro's hard to beat.

- On an unrelated note, [WikiJS](https://js.wiki/) is a self-hosted wiki that happens to support draw.io, PlantUML and MermaidJS diagrams out of the box. Quite handy to have for your own docs.

- I use Miro nowadays since it's significantly quicker to draw things freeform and to collaborate live with folks on a whiteboard at the cost of having your diagrams in markup, but it's easy to miss the integration that [you can actually import PlantUML](https://help.miro.com/hc/en-us/articles/7004940386578) and Mermaid diagrams in a Miro board too. You can also do edits too, but it's on its own PlantUML section, of course.

I've asked on LinkedIn which PostgreSQL application you use so that I can check that it works on Yugabyte. Please, continue to answer. To start let's try with Wiki.js, open source wiki software storing into a PostgreSQL database.
