eziwiki is a minimal, static wiki and documentation site generator that builds documentation sites from Markdown content. It uses TypeScript for site configuration and outputs static files suitable for deployment to common static hosts.

Key Features

  • Write content in plain Markdown with optional frontmatter for pages
  • Configure site metadata, navigation, and theme via a TypeScript payload/config file
  • Built with Next.js and TypeScript, exports a static site for deployment
  • Hash-based URLs for page privacy and stable internal linking
  • Customizable navigation structure (folders, hidden pages, colored folder entries)
  • Simple developer workflow: local dev server, build, and commands to validate payload and list generated URLs

Use Cases

  • Personal knowledge base or notes site authored in Markdown
  • Project or API documentation site with configurable navigation and themes
  • Lightweight internal docs portal that can be exported and hosted as static files

Limitations and Considerations

  • Uses hash-based URLs which can hinder conventional SEO and direct pretty-linking
  • No built-in server-side features, user accounts, or in-browser editing; content must be authored and built from source
  • Lacks an integrated full-text search out of the box (requires adding search/indexing separately)

eziwiki is suited for users who want a simple, code-first documentation generator that produces static output and is easy to customize via TypeScript. It emphasizes minimalism, Markdown-first content, and straightforward deployment.
