The one thing I believe that all collaborative editors need is accountability for edits. It would be great if you can build a simple sign-in and track all operations based on which user is committing them. Then you can do some neat things like rolling back the document in time, or just removing the edits of certain users. Just a thought. I love the idea of a collaborative and intuitive web-based editor that works on…

sure, that's coming in the future

This looks great and I love the ease of use, however I just can't use it yet. I could spend a lot of time putting info into this but there's no question if it will be gone any day. For me to trust it enough to use it, I either need to be able to install it to my own server or want to pay for it. You should really add a minimal homepage with an email signup as well if you intend to work on this more. The product is se…

Thanks, we've built it for ourselves and wanted to see if anyone else would be interested first. Would happily add accounts and charge a small subscription fee for it. How many dollars per month would it be worth to you?)

That's tough to answer (pricing is tough!). As a single consumer, not much (e.g. under $20/month). As a business, potentially a lot more. If you're actually marketing it to enterprise or at least company teams, they're budget (and features they'd require) are different.

Any JS frameworks? Are you using Etherpad Lite?

curl -O http://enterprisewiki.co/bin/app.min.js uglify -b | vim - Looks like they're using Showdown for Markdown functionality, sharejs for concurrent editing, node-browserchannel for async communication... Or, maybe Closure's BrowserChannel? I would love to see an end-to-end "here's how we built this" blog post for this kind of project. Very nicely done!

I'm very excited about fixing wikis, and I'm really impressed to see that OP has some very similar ideas about it.

Because of this, I found it worthwhile to burn 1-2 hours to de-minify his Javascript, which mostly required figuring out what all his inlined JS libs are.

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

Absolutely agree. Other users might even help clean it up and expand it.

Is this something we can purchase and self host ? Or is this something you plan to make available only as a hosted wiki service ?

It's a hosted service, we have no plans for a downloadable version for now.

I wish for something like this + https://telegr.am/ :)

With Telegr.am I could do most of the edits locally and check it in to GitHub.

With this I could do small adjustments, changes while at the customer etc. and still have the full history archived in GitHub.

Very cool! I was a bit frustrated by not being able to select text when in "view" mode (text selection worked fine in markdown mode - using latest version of Chrome on a mac). Is this a side effect of the iOS shortcuts?

ha, thanks for spotting that bug, yeah its the gesture library causing issues ... fixed now.

I confirm text selection is working fine for me now - in Chrome.
