These buttons open the developer's own site, repository or store listing in a new tab. wares.gg does not host downloads.

About BookStack

BookStack stores documentation in a fixed hierarchy of shelves, books, chapters and pages, which removes most of the structure decisions a blank wiki forces on you. It has WYSIWYG and Markdown editors, full-text search, page revisions, per-item permissions and LDAP, SAML and OIDC authentication.

Strengths

  • Fixed hierarchy makes large documentation sets easy to navigate
  • Granular permissions plus LDAP, SAML and OIDC sign-in

Limitations

  • PHP, MySQL and a web server are required; there is no single-binary option
  • The rigid structure gets in the way if you want a free-form wiki
