  3. Gollum

    A simple, Git-powered wiki with a local frontend and support for many kinds of markup and content.

    Project mention: WordPress Is in Trouble | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-13

    Depends on your target user. If you want something really simple for developers, https://github.com/gollum/gollum is pretty neat (is what powers the Wiki system on GitHub), while if you want something simple for people who aren't developers, something like Mediawiki would fit better. Although Mediawiki requires a database, you can use SQLite (which is basically a file on disk as a DB) for it.

    Dokuwiki is also a neat old-school alternative that basically treats files on disk as articles/pages, so no (other) DB needed.

  4. Bridgetown

    A next-generation progressive site generator & fullstack framework, powered by Ruby

    Project mention: Marrying Tailwind with Jekyll | dev.to | 2024-09-30

    Jekyll is a simplistic framework for static websites that originally sparked the static website and JAMstack movements. While there are many similar frameworks with more features, Jekyll remains one of the simplest on the market. It has been somewhat forgotten and hasn't evolved much lately, to the point where some people decided to take matters into their own hands and fork this framework into something called Bridgetown.

  5. RDoc

    RDoc produces HTML and online documentation for Ruby projects.

    Project mention: Ruby's official documentation just got a new look | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-25

    This is false. You can see exactly what was changed: https://github.com/ruby/rdoc/pull/1157/files

  6. madness

    Instant Markdown Server (by DannyBen)

  7. docrb
