nhoss2 / nodewiki Goto Github PK

it would be nice to look for and display a default.md or readme.md when entering either the root or another directory

the code does a lot of readdirSync and readFileSync... this should be made async for performance reasons.

Could nodewiki provide support to use pandoc parser? I think another useful resource to see is MarkX. Joining Pandoc support like in MarkX and Wiki System like nodewiki would become a great app. What about ShareLatex as another inspiration? I think this Wiki System with Equations Support (MathJax for example), Image Support, SVG Support, even the Reveal.js support (for wiki pages in slide-style) will be a state-of-art wiki system. Oh, don't forget the search module and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) practices, like drag and drop files to folders, automatic filtering of files based on content...
After this, I think collaboration modules would be great, like chat, integration with git/mercurial/svn on frontend...

I organized the features as below:

• Pandoc parser
• Automatic preview of page while editing
• MathJax support
• Media management (Image, SVG...)
• Page in Slides Presentation style (Reveal js, pandoc already has this support, you need just to copy the js, like you did on jquery). I think an Iframe embedding the presentation would be nice to show it.
• Filtering support
• Collaboration support (Git/Mercurial/SVN Frontends, Chat)

I think there is lots of promise here, and it solves issues for a variety of use cases.
With some polish and attention it could really thrive.

Whats the current state of the project? Is it actively developed?

Change the UI to use Twitter Bootstrap instead. This would make nodewiki mobile-ready.

A full text search function would suit this wiki well. Thanks for your time

Does Nodewiki provide permalinks for each page? I notice that since it's a single-page app, we just get /# in the URL, which isn't very handy for linking people to specific pages. If so, how can I find the link for a given page?

Can I prevent users to add files and folders?

What licence is this under?

it'd be nice if the server didn't care about the directory the browser is in... the browser should just make requests to folder/file.md instead of file.md

it would be nice to have the files and directories list sorted

I have images in my wiki pages. with this syntax:
But nodewiki doesn't load them. why?

Please take some time to choose a license that fits your goals and add it to this project.

Nice Tool 👍

I have only some small feature requests:

Within long documents it is annoying to save, watch, edit and scroll down.

A preview Button with a simple popup preview will be nice.
Complicated but better usability: a realtime preview at the bottom from the current piece where the cursor is.

And some command line parameters:

• for opening a default file
• for reading only the wiki
• path to own template files

I have a daemon node.js script which runs at start up, I want to enable nodewiki as one of the services kicked from that script.

In particular I have some service management logics in the startup script and I want to monitor this nice service with my own logics.

If you think this is a good idea and prefer a pull request instead, I don't mind forking and wrap it up. :)

Imagined script:

var nodewiki = require('nodewiki');

wikiServer = nodewiki.createServer('/home/wiki');

wikiServer.on('error', function(error) {
    // Error handling like permission denied et al.
});

// Custom event handling, easier for log implementations
wikiServer.on('connect', function() {});
wikiServer.on('disconnect', function() {});

wikiServer.listen(8888);
