Probably old hat to some…but documentation is important. Just for once…I am trying to keep documentation AHEAD of the inevitable bork that destroys everything… so that in 3 months time I don’t have to reconstitute everything out of thin air and swearing.
Anyhow, I came across this lovely little repo a while ago and though “yes, next time, use this”
https://github.com/Zavy86/WikiDocs
And so I am :)
I’ll let the author speak to the perks (no affiliation, I just like wikidocs and wanted to share it)

- No database required
- Markdown syntax
- YAML Frontmatter
- Editor full WYSIWYG

- Uploading images (also from clipboard)
- Content can be categorized in namespaces
- Public and private browsing
- Desktop and remote sync
- Syntax highlighting
- Multiple languages
- Dark mode
While I show off a happy snap




So I can’t just point it to my current .md folder and let it rip.
Dunno. Try it, see what happens. Probably nothing good :)
OTOH, if you have a local LLM, you should be able to get it to template your existing .md into a sane wiki structure.
