siteleteer

siteleteer is a super hackable, self-replicating web app that lets you create sitelets (mini websites) with inter-linking pages formatted with Markdown. All data created with siteleteer is simply stored directly as HTML on the page, and the code within the HTML file is not minified at all, making it easier to simply crack open in a text editor and modify however you wish!

It's page management with Markdown formatting and a simple search bar all rolled up into a single HTML file that's less than 20 kilobytes!

How to Use

Just download a blank siteleteer ;HTML file and open it in a browser to get started. It's pretty simple:

• Use the "Settings" button to change the wiki's name, description, and CSS, then push "Save" to make your changes.
• Create a new page by using the "New Page" button. This will create an empty page that you can start editing right away.
  • Set a page title in the "Name" field and write some text for the page with Markdown formatting.
    • In addition to Markdown, you can link between pages using wiki link format by putting the (case-sensitive) page name in 2 square braces [[like this]]! If you want the link to have different text than the page's name, then put the page name first then the text to display after a vertical bar [[Other Page|like this]]!
  • If you have multiple pages, you can change the order they display in the navigation by changing the Sort Position.
  • The page in the 0 position will be the "home" page of your siteleteer that is displayed when the file loads or when the Wiki Title is clicked.
  • Use "Save" to save the page and view the page.
  • Use "Cancel" to prevent any changes from being saved (results in an empty page if it's newly created).
  • Use "Delete" to remove the page and navigation entry.
• Search for text in your pages using the Search bar. Check the Particularities below for exactly how the results are found & sorted.
• Click the "Edit" button at the bottom of a page to change that page. The date at the bottom of the page will be updated when you save your changes.
• Save your changes to a new HTML file by using the "Save" button (or Ctrl/Command + S). The HTML file defaults to a lowercase version of your wiki's name with any non-alphanumeric characters converted to underscores like_this.html.

And that's pretty much it, though you'll want to be aware of some peculiarities of the system.

If you want to get an idea of how to use siteleteer, you can make changes to and download this site by just clicking the "Save" button in the top right corner! Any changes you make will be saved as a new file on your computer, but they aren't permanent and will reset if you refresh the page.
