This is pretty sweet, it's a shame it doesn't appear to be open source.

Nice. Good job reducing UI and common interactions to a minimum. The auto-updating structure on the left also encourages a proper hierarchy for the document.

I want it. Where do I go?

I've been looking for a really nice simple wiki, but targeting the business market with no security besides a URL with a guid isn't going to cut it.

I want to know more about it also. It's weird, I tried going to the homepage and I just get redirected back to the linked wiki.

It's almost like they don't want customers

thanks for the comment! You don't need to go anywhere - it creates a random URL for you so you can just edit the wiki and bookmark it.

At this point its an MVP - if people like it we'll add more features :)

the URL is random so it's harder to crack than a password, but you're right - we'll be adding proper 'accounts' later, and some more features if necessary - it's an MVP at this stage.

We may open source it later if we have time to clean up the code :)

Looks neat!

What tech stack are you using on this?

I think we all would like non-clean and open source, compared to nothing :)
