    From the README

    Self-hosted wiki. Single Go binary. SQLite + Markdown stored on disk.

    For engineers and self-hosters who want structured, long-lived documentation. No Node.js, no Redis, no Postgres — just a binary and a data directory.

    If you've looked at Wiki.js or Outline and thought "this is too much to operate for what I need" — this could fit for you.
