TLDR; Not actually a wiki. This is a nice front end js component that live autocompiles markdown into HTML. IMHO to be a wiki it would need to manage user editing and version control.

Author of MDwiki here. Versioning and editing is indeed intended to be done and handled through git. Pull requests are prefered method for collaboration. Another way is to place the wiki on a Dropbox shared public folder and share the folder with your collaborators. Hosting can be done through Dropbox as well.

I had the same thought as the parent of your comment, but I really like this way of doing things, well done. Looks really clean and I'd consider using it if I needed a wiki for some project.

In that case, I just came up with some awesome new minimalist wiki software: it's called 'plain text files in a git repository'.
