It's just the name of the service, as imagined by its creator, Cognition Labs; it's called a "wiki" because it creates wiki-style documentation similar to Wikipedia's format. There are always people who complain about everything. I'm successfully using the service since a few month and even applied it to my own compiler projects, and I think it's pretty good; of course there are errors, but from my experience far less than the (mostly outdated, if available at all) design documentation you usually find for open-source projects.
- cxr 11mo agoIt's not "just the name of the service". The Deepwiki people are either morons or assholes or both. Complaining that someone is debasing the definition of the word "wiki" by applying it to something that isn't a wiki is not a trifling complaint. Describing a topic-constrained encyclopedia as a "wiki" on the basis that Wikipedia is a thing is like calling coffee "ice" because iced coffee exists.
- shadowgovt 11mo agoOr a quickly-editable website a "wiki" because it's the Hawaiian word for "quick."
- cxr 11mo agoWhich these things aren't. But congratulations on grasping what a wiki is, I guess.
- shadowgovt 11mo agoAre they not editable? They do appear to have an edit button.
