About W

W is a lightweight wiki engine and CMS that encourages you to customise each page's style individually, sitting at the intersection of a website editor and a note-taking tool. Pages are written in Markdown, HTML, CSS and JavaScript and stored in a flat-file database, with multi-user editing, a media manager, comments, maps and page graphs built in. Licensed under AGPLv3, it suits small, heterogeneous personal or community websites built with spontaneity.
