  • Appwrite - The Open Source Firebase alternative introduces iOS support
  • InfluxDB - Access the most powerful time series database as a service
  • Sonar - Write Clean JavaScript Code. Always.
  • silverbullet

    Markdown as a platform

    not exactly what you want but have a look at https://silverbullet.md/ generates an editable website from .md files. all files are listed with ctrl+k (or click on the icon), has a login, though I use basic auth from my webserver, and layout is simple and nice.

  • Gollum

    A simple, Git-powered wiki with a sweet API and local frontend.

    I'm currently using Gollum Wiki in this way. It reads from a git repository, formats the markdown files nicely, and has a limited editor that is useful in a pinch.

  • Appwrite

    Appwrite - The Open Source Firebase alternative introduces iOS support . Appwrite is an open source backend server that helps you build native iOS applications much faster with realtime APIs for authentication, databases, files storage, cloud functions and much more!

  • Hugo

    The world’s fastest framework for building websites.

    In your case, I would recommend a static site generator such as Jekyll or Hugo. Fair warning: it will not work out of the box (unless you find a theme that exactly matches what you want) but it should be easy to set up assuming you have even the smallest bit of coding/web dev experience.

  • obsidian-releases

    Community plugins list, theme list, and releases of Obsidian.

  • Trilium Notes

    Build your personal knowledge base with Trilium Notes

    I using Trilium as my personal knowlege.

  • wikmd

    A file based wiki that uses markdown

    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.

  • Outline

    The fastest knowledge base for growing teams. Beautiful, realtime collaborative, feature packed, and markdown compatible.

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.
