10 Best Notepad Alternatives With a Better UI and Features

From the name itself, it is evident that this app is a mesh of WordPad and Notepad. The app is relatively new and has a clean and useful interface that looks fairly dated at this point. With DocPad, the focus is more on building a lightweight yet powerful text editor; this app is not a good choice for coding or programming. Formatting and other word processing features like...

Goodbye Statamic. Hello Grav.

Docpad worked for a while, but suffered from a few issues that I couldn't work around. Firstly, it was generated from the command line and would often seem to throw errors which were incomprehensible.

I don't just hit publish on my whole Zettelkasten, but that would work as well if you point your static site generator to your note archive. Source: almost 3 years ago
Creating a minimalist blog with Jekyll Now

Something like Github pages but for a wiki?
I've been looking for something like that for months and now I am pretty confident that such thing does not exist. You can try to bend existing SSG solution to be more wiki-like, but that's all.
