Hey ๐
just wanted to share a quick update on my side project โ LeafWiki, a Markdown-based wiki built with developers in mind.
๐ฟ What is LeafWiki?
LeafWiki aims to be a lightweight Markdown wiki for developer teams. No cloud lock-in, no database, no unnecessary overhead.
Just a single binary that lets you create, search, and edit Markdown files โ all stored directly on your local disk.
๐ธ Hereโs a quick screenshot while writing this post inside LeafWiki itself:
๐๏ธ And a glimpse of the built-in asset manager:
โ Whatโs new in v0.4.0?
With this release, the project is now ready for real dogfooding โ meaning Iโve started using it internally for my own documentation needs.
1. ๐ฑ Mobile-optimized UI
The interface now works on smartphones and tablets.
2. ๐ Full-text search (SQLite-based)
A custom module scans all Markdown files and builds a fast local search index.
3. โ๏ธ Editor improvements
The editor now supports hotkeys for bold, italic, ## headings, and more โ no bloated WYSIWYG needed.
๐ญ Whatโs next?
Right now, Iโve started using LeafWiki to write its own end-user documentation.
To support this, Iโm working on server-side rendering (SSR) so pages can be properly indexed by search engines.
After that, the roadmap includes:
- ๐ Importing Markdown files from disk
- ๐ Git repository integration (planned for a future version)

Iโd love to hear your feedback, ideas, or suggestions!
