What do you think about an editor front-end?

As you know sometimes I'm thinking about something very similar to this project. My original idea in 2012 was a web app where you can write articles and they get transformed automatically to linked pages (title get's "linkified" in other articles).

In addition to the cmd which is in this quick wiki, I think it would be great to have a some sort of hosted version, which can drop the content in a few configured way (local disk, ftp, scp, git, ipfs?) and provides a simple md editor for your pages, and a basic navigation + crud.

The hosted version could also be zero config / zero dependency (stores stuff in files instead database, or some simple embedded db, with dumps on file system).

Thoughts?

Yes! Having an editor frontend that can load in the browser is a very good idea. I can definitely see it using the local filesystem + git to handle versioning as well, although rendering every version might be costly (unless sharded on the filesystem somehow).

Would be cool if you could just run quickwiki server somewhere, and get a hosted version of the wiki running there directly (considering you have a wiki running like this: https://github.com/VictorBjelkholm/quickwiki/tree/master/wiki), accessible via a web interface with editor and everything.

(title get's "linkified" in other articles).

Happy to say that this was one of the reasons behind quickwiki (and the static + simple nature of it) and implemented here: https://github.com/VictorBjelkholm/quickwiki/blob/master/plugins/autolinker/autolinker.go#L44 It is a very simple and almost stupid implementation though, optimizations awaiting.
