Many people CANNOT use PHP while many people CAN use Python. This make it easier to be customized. </p> <h2> The starting </h2> <p>A long time ago, I began this project with Rust and Rocket. However, the lifecycles and something awful prevented me from getting further. </p> <h2> The features </h2> <p>This is a new system and doesn't have as many functions like the other softwares similar. But I hope you can have a try. </p> <p>First, here is some screenshot of it running on Opera. </p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Ft07ssy9rpfda5vkp75xg.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Ft07ssy9rpfda5vkp75xg.jpg" alt="One page" width="800" height="1689"></a> </p> <p>The user system is much more powerful now. You can always stop someone from editing. </p> <p>The searching function is simple. It is just a <code>like</code>. </p> <p>These days, I allow the system to provide a table to show the history of wiki. I am goibg to lut a screenshot. </p> <h2> Beginning to use </h2> <p>I think the README.md is not esy enough for most people to understand. It requires you to create a database and then run a script on the database. Not everyone know how to do it. </p> <p>Let me have an introduction. </p> <p>First, try to download the code from my github. <a href="https://link.juejin.cn/?target=github.com%2Ffly19992020%2Fwikify" rel="noopener noreferrer">link</a> Then, you should unzip the files to a dictionary. </p> <p>Before you continue, make sure that you have the required tools. The first things are python. Follow <a href="//python.org">the website</a> and set up flask on your computer using <code>pip install flask</code>. </p> <p>Besides, you need sqlite3. You can download one from<a href="//sqlite.org">sqlite.org</a>. </p> <p>Then, You will need to run the following in your console.<br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight shell"><code>sqlite3 wikify.db </code></pre> </div> <p>Now you can copy the script in README.md to your console. After your executing, you can quit with the command <code>.quit</code>. </p> <p>After these steps, you will be easy to follow the README and install the system. Now you can run the following to launch it:<br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight shell"><code>python main.py </code></pre> </div> python opensource flask showdev Yyuhang Sat, 29 Mar 2025 12:34:29 +0000 https://dev.to/fly19992020/the-gpad-hoa https://dev.to/fly19992020/the-gpad-hoa <p>I just made GPAD today.
