AwwKoala - Demo
A Websocket Wiki and Kind Of A List Application
This is a self-contained wiki webserver that makes sharing easy and fast. You can make any page you want, and any page is editable by anyone. Pages load instantly for editing, and have special rendering for whether you want to view as a web page or view as list.
Features
Simplicity
The philosophy here is to just type. To jot a note, simply load the page at / and just start typing. No need to press edit, the browser will already be focused on the text. No need to press save - it will automatically save when you stop writing. The URL at / will redirect to an easy-to-remember name that you can use to reload the page at anytime, anywhere. But, you can also use any URL you want, e.g. /AnythingYouWant.
Viewing
All pages can be rendered into HTML by adding /view. For example, the page /AnythingYouWant is rendered at /AnythingYouWant/view. You can write in HTML or Markdown for page rendering. To quickly link to /view pages, just use [[AnythingYouWnat]]. Math is supported with Katex using $\frac{1}{2}$ for inline equations and $$\frac{1}{2}$$ for regular equations.
Listifying
If you are writing a list and you want to tick off things really easily, just add /list. For example, after editing /grocery, goto /grocery/list. In this page, whatever you click on will be striked through and moved to the end. This is helpful if you write a grocery list and then want to easily delete things from it.
Automatic versioning
All previous versions of all notes are stored and can be accessed by adding ?version=X onto /view or /edit. If you are on the /view or /edit pages the menu below will show the most substantial changes in the history. Note, only the current version can be edited (no branching allowed, yet).
Security
HTTPS support is provided. Also uses a HTML sanitizer to prevent XSS attacks.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Quickly transition between Edit/View/List by using Ctl+Shift+E to Edit, Ctl+Shift+Z to View, and Ctl+Shift+L to Listify.
Admin controls
The Admin can view/delete all the documents by setting the -a YourAdminKey when starting the program. Then the admin has access to the /ls/YourAdminKey to view and delete any of the pages.
Install
To get started on your local network just do:
git clone https://github.com/schollz/awwkoala.git
cd awwkoala
make
./awwkoala -p :8001 LOCALIPADDRESS
and then goto the address http://LOCALIPADDRESS:8001/
Production server
I recommend using NGINX as middleware, as it will do caching of the static files for you. There is an example NGINX block in install/. To automatically install, on Raspberry Pi / Ubuntu / Debian system use:
git clone https://github.com/schollz/awwkoala.git
cd awwkoala
nano Makefile <--- EDIT this Makefile to include YOUR EXTERNAL ADDRESS
make && sudo make install
Now the program starts and stops with
sudo /etc/init.d/AwwKoala start|stop|restart
Edit your crontab (sudo crontab -e) to start on boot:
@reboot /etc/init.d/AwwKoala start
Usage
$ awwkoala --help
