LeafWiki – A Markdown Wiki is now ready for Dogfooding (v0.4.0)

Hey 👋

just wanted to share a quick update on my side project – LeafWiki, a Markdown-based wiki built with developers in mind.

🌿 What is LeafWiki?

LeafWiki aims to be a lightweight Markdown wiki for developer teams. No cloud lock-in, no database, no unnecessary overhead.

Just a single binary that lets you create, search, and edit Markdown files — all stored directly on your local disk.

✅ What’s new in v0.4.0?

With this release, the project is now ready for real dogfooding – meaning I’ve started using it internally for my own documentation needs.

1. 📱 Mobile-optimized UI

The interface now works on smartphones and tablets.

2. 🔍 Full-text search (SQLite-based)

A custom module scans all Markdown files and builds a fast local search index.

3. ✍️ Editor improvements

The editor now supports hotkeys for bold, italic, ## headings, and more — no bloated WYSIWYG needed.

🔭 What’s next?

Right now, I’ve started using LeafWiki to write its own end-user documentation.

To support this, I’m working on server-side rendering (SSR) so pages can be properly indexed by search engines.

After that, the roadmap includes:

• 📂 Importing Markdown files from disk
• 🔁 Git repository integration (planned for a future version)
