- grogenaut 5y agoWysiwyg editor, integrations with Jira queries and other tools via UI wizards/widgets.
- bawolff 5y agoMediawiki has had a wysiwyg editor for a while now
- qbasic_forever 5y agoMore focused on writing explicit long-form content organized into book-like trees (i.e. book -> chapter -> page), instead of doing things TheWikiWay. It's much nicer for technical documentation IMHO.
- rtpg 5y agoIt looks nicer than most wiki software out of the box, has nice integrations and editor stuff. So aesthetically it's very pleasing and it's pretty easy to use (the big asterisk is when performance gets in the way and suddenly stuff is slow). In theory I'm sure you could sit around, write a billion plugins to some other wiki software, and get to confluence. But you could also just pay for Confluence! "As nice as Confluence but super speedy" is a ... $50 million dollar business (can't say billion cuz I mean atlassian does good work!)
