For years I’ve worked at places where we just needed a simple to use, searchable, unobtrusive, no-nonsense, collaborative and free place to dump documentation. The first thing that comes to mind is a Wiki but for some reason I can never find anything that "checks all the boxes". Hopefully you'll find this one does for you.
😋 TightWiki is an ASP.NET Core MVC Razor WIKI written in C# that sits on top of a SQLite database (zero configuration required).
🤞 Play with the latest dev build at http://TightWiki.com/. If you want to edit, you can signup using google auth or native TightWiki login.

- Wiki markup supports basic formatting, headings and sub-headings, tagging, tables, callouts, alerts, variables, bullets lists, dynamic glossaries, inline search results, dynamic tag clouds, related linking, expanding sections, auto-table of contents, and much more.
- Wiki page editing is syntax highlighted.

We've beat the wiki up with more data than this, but this is our standard workload. ~45,000 pages, in ~400 namespaces, with ~250,000 revisions, created by ~1,000 users, manifesting ~5 million search tokens. The random fuzzy-match search time is 11 milliseconds. Not too shabby, right?
