# Wikinest

> A team wiki: spaces, page trees, versions, comments and permissions per space. Wikinest is a knowledge base for you or your team. Write pages in Markdown with a toolbar and live preview — panels, tables, task lists, code, status lozenges and page links — and keep them in spaces with a page tree, versions you can compare and restore, labels, templates and search. Work alone in your browser, or share a space in a Teamspaces workspace with admins, editors, commenters, readers and guests, inline comments and live updates.

Wikinest (Knowledge base and team wiki) is an app of usefulweb.app (https://usefulweb.app/): a full program that runs in the browser. Its engine is deterministic and the same functions are exposed as tools, so an agent can compute exactly what the app shows.

- Project file format (JSON Schema): https://wikinest.usefulweb.app/project.schema.json
- Tutorials: https://wikinest.usefulweb.app/tutorials
- JSON API: POST https://wikinest.usefulweb.app/api/v1/tools/<toolId>/calculate (catalog: https://wikinest.usefulweb.app/api/v1/tools)
- OpenAPI: https://wikinest.usefulweb.app/openapi.json
- MCP (Streamable HTTP): https://wikinest.usefulweb.app/mcp

## Formats
- Import: Wikinest project (.wikinest.json), Markdown files (.md) or a folder as ZIP, Confluence HTML export (.zip or .html), Read-only page link (#share=)
- Export: Wikinest project (.wikinest.json), Page or space as Markdown (.md / .zip), Page or space as HTML (one file, images included), Page or space as PDF, Read-only page link

## Limits
- Pages are edited as a whole: two people typing in the same page at the same time are merged when publishing, not character by character.
- Guests and viewers cannot create pages in shared spaces (Teamspaces lets only members, admins and owners create documents); permissions apply to a whole space, not to single pages.
- Page statistics (views) are counted only in your own browser; there is no central analytics.
- Markdown exports leave images out; HTML exports embed them. PDF exports show images as their description.
- Confluence imports skip page history, comments, Jira macros, page properties reports and other macros without a Wikinest equivalent (their text is kept).
- Very long share links (big pages) may not fit in every chat app; send an HTML export instead.
