wikmd VS Wiki.js

Bing, bang, boom. Within a few minutes of volunteering it, I setup wikimd as a stopgap until we developed something more robust. I'm thinking of moving to Hedgedoc which has some security and a WYSIWYG editor for folks not as familiar with Markdown syntax.

Maybe wikmd is something for you

wikmd

I added some mermaid support in the 'mermaid_integration' branch. You can try it if you'd like, i'll implement it in the stable version once its completely ready

Wikmd is file based and stores all the files in Markdown format. You can edit every file in the browser using the code mirror for syntax highlighting.

The other one I've been meaning to look at is wikimd, which looks like it might be prettier, but Gollum is working fine for me still.

Wikmd is a Mardown file editor

Maybe wikmd

https://linbreux.github.io/wikmd/ - Not perfect but worth a look (especially if you know your way around markdown)

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 like https://js.wiki/

https://js.wiki/ or any wiki really

I use wikijs and is perfect for home wiki with modern look and good features https://js.wiki/

I think it could be a little bit difficult, but you can try using other tools like wiki js
