A feature-rich wiki for minimalists
cowyo is a self-contained wiki server that makes jotting notes easy and fast. The most important feature here is simplicity. Other features include versioning, page locking, self-destructing messages, encryption, and listifying. You can download cowyo as a single executable or install it with Go. Try it out at https://cowyo.com.
Getting Started
Install
If you have go
go get -u -v github.com/schollz/cowyo
or just download from the latest releases.
Run
To run just double click or from the command line:
cowyo
and it will start a server listening on 0.0.0.0:8050. To view it, just go to http://localhost:8050 (the server prints out the local IP for your info if you want to do LAN networking). You can change the port with -port X.
Usage
cowyo is straightforward to use. Here are some of the basic features:
Editing
When you open a document you'll be directed to an alliterative animal (which is supposed to be easy to remember). You can write in Markdown. Saving is performed as soon as you stop writing. You can easily link pages using PageName as you edit.
History
You can easily see previous versions of your documents.
Lists
You can easily make lists and check them off.
Locking
Locking prevents other users from editing your pages without a passphrase.
Encryption
Encryption is performed using AES-256.
Self-destructing pages
Just like in mission impossible.
