Ask HN: What do you use for internal docs?

5 points by mskierkowski 9 years ago | 4 comments

My org uses Confluence and it feels bloated to me. What do you use (crowdbase, gollum, GH wiki)? I want something with great markdown support, inline editor (i.e. not git), good/easy organization and fast.

We just spun up a wiki on Gollum and have found it pretty easy to use. Devs who want to edit locally can use git, but we've also got the browser based editor running for designers/PMs who don't want to mess with it.

We also recently set-up an internal Gollum wiki. Are there any css stylesheets available online somewhere that make it a bit prettier than the default?

If you forego the unnecessary requirement of Markdown support, you have plenty of good wiki engines out there, my favourite two being part of Trac and DokuWiki.
