Recently I found out Balsa (https://github.com/balsa-team/balsa) - which looks promising since it has a WYSIWYG editor with comments, plus can be deployed on premises.

Re: Ask HN: How do you share/organize knowledge at work and life?
#192I have a personal "knowledge base" that is publicly available at https://maxmasnick.com/kb/ . This is partially inspired by Chris Albon's excellent data science technical notes: http://chrisalbon.com . I find it very helpful to have this kind of information on a public website. It's easy to search myself, quick to edit[^1], and helpful for sharing with others when someone asks me a question. For notes I don't want to…

You mentioned it as being a critical feature but from what I've been reading, it's pretty complex and tricky due to it's weird syncing rules and relationship with OneDrive. The only decent solution requires a Windows version. See: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/good-...

#194Recently came across this interesting approach for organizing knowledge across all domains (life and work):
https://praxis.fortelabs.co/the-p-a-r-a-method-a-universal-s...
I haven't fully implemented it yet, but the general concept is:
Projects: a series of tasks linked to a goal, with a deadline
Areas: a sphere of activity with a standard to be maintained over time
Resources: a topic or theme of ongoing interest
Archives: inactive items from the other three categories

#195Earlier quoted context omitted.
Well Wiki's support file uploading and you can always source control the ppt files and use MD files where appropriate.
What I'm shooting for is to index the content of Office files. I've now looked, and, apparently, Confluence doesn't do this. Given this requirement, I seem to be looking down the barrel of Elasticsearch with FSCrawler.
You might need to simply create a workplace rule that powerpoints are not to be considered stores of information, and that any specs contained in them will be discarded at the end of the presentation.

#197For teams I've used Raneto[0] in the past.
I use Notable[1] and MkDocs[2] for personal notes and technical documentation respectively.
All three are markdown powered of course. Raneto and MkDocs can use a Git repo with your preferred build pipeline and the HTML can be hosted internally or on Netlify, etc. Works well for teams.
With Notable I use Syncthing to keep notes synced, but that's a personal use case.
For teams you may also want to give Outline[3] a try. I haven't used it as yet but it does looks pretty good.

You are able to print entire notebooks as a pdf. Its not the best, as text can be cut across pages if you don't originally fit into nice-paper sized areas, but it does export everything quit easily.

#199Public and private Git repos of markdown files that sync to Dropbox, so; - I can use my IDE in desktop to search / change them. - On iOS, iA Writer can access to markdown files - I get PRs to my public notebook because it’s on Github: https://github.com/azer/notebook - The format and tooling are unlimited. Images, sound files, jupyter notebooks, everything fits - It’s not binded to a product or protocol. I have freed…
Just curious - why do we need to sync to Dropbox if they are already hosted in a Git repo?
