Awesome job @grantkiely! I love the idea of using the tools we already have to accomplish what we need instead of using yet another tool. Quick question - in playing around I noticed a lack of a search function. Is this something you intend to add at some stage?

@david_gentile Hi David! Yes I do, I've got a ticket for it here: https://ynaw.nolt.io/10 It should be available within a month, and you can sign up to be updated when it's completed on that ticket. I'll also make a note to send you a message when it's done if you like!

@grant_kiely are permissions consistent with Google Docs e.g. if I share a doc to edit with my entire org will it have the same permissions on YouNeedAWiki?

@grant_kiely @ben_johnston1 Hi Ben! Yes the permissions are consistent with GDocs. Anyone who has access via GDocs can view it in it YNAW.

Just what I need! I have two questions: 1. Can you add more sorting options? As I can see, it currently uses Drive's sorting options which are limiting. Especially in the case when you have to sort documents/pages and folders together. 2. I want to put the wiki on my subdomain and make it public. How do I do that?

@tomislavmamic Hey Tom, agreed we need more sorting. 1. I've got a ticket open for drag and drop, https://ynaw.nolt.io/13 which might solve this. But I'll see if I can get something simpler in before then. 2. Those features will be available shortly, I'll send you a personal message when it's ready 😃

Oooh! Looks 🆒. 🕶 Could I use this as a knowledge base so clients can view it (but I need password protection)?

Just tried it. From what I can see so far, it looks like I'm just editing a google doc. I can already insert links in google docs. "You need a wiki" makes them a little easier to click, but is that it or am I missing something? At this point I don't see why anybody would need "You need a wiki."

@doug_leary Hey Doug, could you give me some insight into what you were trying to set up/hoping to achieve? What is it missing for you?

Hi PH community 👋 Around a year ago I was working for a startup that was using Google Docs/Drive for their internal documentation. I found that it wasn't really ideal for content sharing and finding information, and no one was really using it because of this! You need a wiki is here to solve that... It takes all the best parts of Google Docs (Editing, formatting, versioning), sprinkles some wiki functionality on top, and creates something that you and your team will hopefully want to use and be compelled to contribute to. Some of the key features: ✅ View all your pages at once with the tree menu ✅ Navigate between pages quickly ✅ See who edited the page last ✅ Create links to other pages with a select and click ✅ Read only mode, no more accidental updates ✅ Leverages the power of Google docs Create a wiki for free now and start sharing knowledge with your team!

@grantkiely Great work! At my first internship last summer our wiki/documentation was with confluence and it was downright awful. It neither succeeded at including all the work within it, nor at least organizing links to external content. A poor wiki system really is just about the worst thing possible for a company. Communication is vital.

Just wanted to pop in here and say congratulations on the launch, @grantkiely 🎉 Love seeing new approaches to wikis and agree with you that most teams need a wiki. Love the idea of building on top of Google Docs and think that's really smart. Good luck!
