Writer's Block
Elixir command-line engine that generates a static HTML personal wiki from a directory of Markdown documents.
Writer’s Block, run as the wb command, is an Elixir tool for a personal wiki. Its documents are Markdown files in a folder, and it generates the site as static HTML into a separate build root. It is installed with mix escript.install from the GitHub repository, or built as a Docker image, and the installation page lists Elixir 1.11 or greater as the prerequisite.
Worth knowing
The README points to mtod.org/wb/, which carries no software documentation, so the install and usage pages are the ones in the repository. The record is a stub until the project shows the software on a site of its own again.
