🍦 WyPyPlus: A personal wiki in 42 lines of code

🍦 WyPyPlus (pronounced "whippy plus") is a minimalist wiki server in 42 lines of code based on wypy wiki written by Sean B. Palmer in 2004 during a ShortestWikiContest.

WyPyPlus is a journey to discover the essence of personal wiki and get rid of everything else. It tries to keep the minimal set of useful features and pack them in the tiniest space possible. At the end of the day, don't you want a Wiki that just works?

Some Use Cases

A Personal Wiki

  • WyPyPlus supports auto-link on WikiWords and common markdown syntaxes. It also creates a reverse index for every page and supports full-text search.

An Outliner Focusing on Content Creation

  • You can break down a big topic to small pages and focus on one thing at a time. Using the INCLUDE(WikiName) syntax, you can move content around easily and merge everything together automatically. This is inspired by the hot-list feature in GrandView, which I considered as one of the best outliner of all time.

A GetThingsDone System

  • WyPyPlus comes with a calendar and detailed instructions on setting up a complete GTD system. It also supports page templates, contextual tags and a global menu.

A Static Site Generator:

  • When you run WyPyPlus in read-only mode, you can dump the entire site using wget. Visit the (Demo) site to see for yourself.

A Presentation Tool:

  • You can use WyPyPlus to create presentations. It even produces PDFs!

A Simple Spreadsheet and a RPN calculator:

  • WyPyPlus has a built-in RPN calculator that suports
    • Basic math operations: +, -, *, and /
    • Stack operations: dup, over, swap, drop, and rot
    • Other functions: ^, log, sqrt, abs, sin, cos, and tan
  • You can define new functions using RPN(: <name> <content> ;)
    RPN(: squire dup * ;)
    RPN(: pythagoras squire swap squire + sqrt ;)
    RPN(3 4 pythagoras) -> output 5

In addition, you can use RPN in a table and reference rows and columes!

Some Screenshots

Core Features

  • Takes less than a minute to set up.
  • Only 42 lines of code with no external dependency except Python.
  • Runs on Mac, Linux and Windows.
  • Supports basic wiki syntax. DemoPage
  • Stores wiki pages as plain text files.
  • Works perfectly offline.
  • No config files.
  • No database.

Design Tradeoffs

  • To keep things minimal, WyPyPlus only supports a subset of markdown syntaxes.
  • To avoid depending on an external parser, WyPyPlus uses regular expressions to match tags. It is not perfect, but fairly usable.
  • WyPyPlus has no config file. You can't mis-configure it. If you really need something, just edit the source code.

Install and Run in 2 Minutes.

  • You need Python 2 to run this application. For Windows users, please install Python 2.7.

  • Put WyPyPlus to a folder (E.g wypy_wiki).

cd wypy_wiki
