W-CMS
Taking notes and publishing a website usually need two different tools, but W treats them as the same act. Every page you create gets its own address, and a privacy level marks it public, private, or not yet published. The editor offers tabs for Markdown content, CSS, a custom body template, and JavaScript, with a metadata panel for title, description, tags, date, and authors. Home view lists every page with sorting, filters, search, and saved bookmarks for common queries. Two alternative views draw pages as a link graph and, for pages with coordinates, as markers on a map. A media manager organizes uploads in folders, offers a thumbnail gallery, and can optimize images for the web. Several users can work together with reader, editor, super editor, and admin roles, and optional LDAP sign-in is available in beta. Templates share layouts across pages, URL commands like add and edit speed up navigation, and an experimental API opens the data to scripts. Pages keep working even with JavaScript turned off. Everything is stored in plain files, so no database server is needed. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console.

Typemill
Documentation deserves better than a database nobody wants to maintain. Typemill is an open-source flat-file CMS for informational websites, manuals, knowledge bases, and handbooks: content lives as Markdown files in folders, so a site can be copied, versioned, backed up, and moved with ordinary file tools and no database server anywhere in the stack. Authors get a visual block editor for nontechnical writing and a raw Markdown editor when precision matters, with a navigation tree, drag-and-drop structure, media library, page metadata, and publish states in one workspace. The same source then publishes three ways: as a themed website, as a printable PDF manual, or as an EPUB eBook through the eBook studio, making single-source publishing real for teams tired of maintaining docs, PDFs, and handbooks as three diverging copies. Themes are built from HTML and Twig; plugins add search, analytics, diagrams, math, and integrations; and an optional AI assistant interface connects writing help to the editor. User management, restricted pages, redirects, and a REST API cover the operational side, and the whole application is small enough to run comfortably on modest shared-style hosting or a tiny server while still feeling instant.
