I hope Wiki.js does not fail

That's the impression I got a while back and one of the several reasons I haven't done anything with it.

I am only testing it, but I generally like it.

There are some pretty basic things that haven't come out yet. Would be nice to see a few more things get fixed. Like saving colours, and tables working.

https://github.com/Requarks/wiki
They are dropping MongoDB for PostgreSQL. That's not a good idea. What the heck.
-
They've stopped work on the wiki.js 1.x series completely. ugh.
-
Well that is annoying... I was just about to start work on some documentation while I had a few (rare) minutes to do so.

Reading the milestones for it, I’ll give them the chance.

It's worth following. But looking at their focus being on huge breaking changes that don't matter but not getting what they have working yet (no tables, can't save changes) doesn't bode well for how they approach the project. Like you said, just one guy. If he starts flailing around doing the "next cool thing" instead of getting it solid, that's a problem. He had a pretty solid thing already, had he just put a tiny bit more effort into it, it would be way ahead of where it is.

You can do tables. You just have to manually make them. It’s just the button doesn’t do anything.

The normal markdown format, I’ll have to look. I think it’s something like:

That's the one I tried, not sure why it didn't work. I must have done something wrong.

I’d still rather have to do this on the off occasion that I need to make a table. It’s a million percent easier to manage the application itself and it’s portable. I’m much faster writing markdown than I am with a WYSIWYG editor.

I agree, if the manual table format works, it's a minor thing.

We have a lot of tables on our Wiki that are updated periodically, as well as a lot of images that are mostly built with screenshots.
The ability to manage tables... cells, rows, columns, the formatting, etc from a menu without having to write a ton of code is a huge time saver.
The ability to take a screenshot and paste it into a wiki page from your clipboard is a huge time saver.
Even general formatting is quicker if you don't have to type it out in a similar way to HTML is a time saver. Write a few paragraphs or whatever, then highlight what you want to format and click a button.

I suppose it depends on what you are working on, but in my case markdown just didn't work well.
-
And if you need to expand, the options are there. I don't know what all you can do with wiki.js besides just straight wiki stuff, but that could be a potential limitation.
Add that there isn't much development... who knows about security.
