Show HN: Giki, the __simple__ wiki
- nubela 11y agoThis is my attempt at simplifying wikis. It currently serves as our startup's knowledge-base repository. PS: This is a raw release, not very mobile friendly yet. Your thoughts?
- greenyoda 11y ago"Giki is structured as a private open-source project. It will intended as a for-profit project with ownership and profits shared amongst public contributors.[1] ... If you are a programmer and will like to contribute, shoot me an email ... with your Github profile and we can start by giving you access to the source code[2]" Isn't this really saying that it's a closed source project (i.e., proprietary software)? Doesn't "open source" mean the source is freely available to everyone, not just the contributors? Also, with so many free, open source wikis available, is it realistic to believe that you can make a profit by selling a wiki? Competing with widely available free software would seem to be an uphill battle. Finally, I found it counter-intuitive that highlighting any text on the page is what you do to edit the entire page. Based on any other UI I've ever experienced, highlighting text is something you do to operate on that specific piece of text. Why not have an edit icon that makes it more obvious? This seems to be taking minimalist UI design a bit too far. [1] http://giki.wiki/learn-more http://giki.wiki/learn-more [2] http://giki.wiki/getting-involved http://giki.wiki/getting-involved
