It can be used to publish a personal website, blog, wiki, Zettelkasten, notebook, knowledge base, or documentation site while keeping the source material in future-proof text files.
The software is designed around Markdown and supports Org Mode in a basic form. It adds useful publishing features such as wiki links, task lists, hashtags, callouts, syntax highlighting, math, Mermaid diagrams, images, Atom feeds, and live preview.
