Introducing The WizzardWiki

A while back, I wrote a wiki engine, but I have been keeping it password protected and locked away from the public, because it is too powerful and easy to abuse. Tonight, I decided to set it free, at least experimentally, so here it is:

The WizzardWiki

What, you might ask, makes The WizzardWiki different from other wikis? A couple of things:

• It doesn't use a limited markup like most wikis, just pure HTML + a shorthand notation for linking to a topic. This is a wiki for people who know how to write HTML.
  
  
• It renders previews of your changes in realtime, updated with every keystroke
  
  
• It is minimal, lightweight and fast
  

There are many wikis out there, but most aren't designed for people who can write HTML. I built this wiki with the intention that only I would be using it, so it is designed for my needs. It lacks many essential features like file uploads and version control, but it is still interesting and useful. In particular, I find that sometimes I just need a little HTML scratch pad, and the live preview makes it very convenient. It is also possible to write javascript in the pages, and use that javascript to do powerful things. Because of this, I consider The WizzardWiki to be a development platform, in a way- anyone can go there and immediately write a new web application for it, using nothing but the site itself. For example, if I needed a calculator, but didn't have one, I could type the word 'calc' into the right hand field, press enter, then write a few lines of html and javascript to define a calculator, and then immediately use it. In fact, I did just that. Here's a link to the calculator on the wizzard wiki: WizzardWiki- calc.

Chances are if I leave this up for a little while it will be horribly spammed with porn, but I guess well see. Maybe people will put some cool stuff on it instead. Let me know what you think of the WizzardWiki.
