And of course it’ also interesting that it uses WYSIWYG, which is a much-requested feature for wikis by users who don’t like to use wiki markup, yet the underlying syntax is Markdown, so there is easy compatibility with a range of other software through even just simple copy and paste.

I say this only on the basis of having watched the video - I have no idea how well it really works in reality. But I’d love to try it out.
