@derin fantastic find!

I just had a play with the demo and it works great! (auto-embeds YouTube, Twitter, etc see https://docs-demo.codex.so/a-slightly-less-new-page )

Here's the code:

Here's how to deploy with Docker:

I'm really wanting this today. A group I'm working with keeps using Google Sites as the place they put all the links resources for the courses they run. It's rubbish. IMHO they'd be MUCH better off using something like Codex Docs!

Uses node 16+ and a few config files

Here's the Dockerfile

See if it builds..

Looks nice for personal use or very small teams.

Similar editor interface techniques to Wordpress Gutenberg.

Doesn't seem to have any users or teams features for collaboration, so not really enterprise ready.

Looks and works pretty good, but it misses the mark on being a viable alternative to Notion as there’s no database features. 🥲

Was this a design decision, do you think, or just something they will get around to later?

I think it's by design - they list it as one of their features:

Thanks,. It says "deploy eaisly- no database required". Since deployment on Cloudron is so easy, perhaps they might like to support it here with added database support.

The config docs refer to the possibility of using a database.
Personally if it works without, I'm happy.

I don't think it is pitched as being an alternative to Notion.

I've tried to create a package but currently blocked.
I've posted the details at https://forum.cloudron.io/post/75524

Sadly giving up (for now at least) for reasons stated in https://forum.cloudron.io/post/75671
Repo staying available in case anyone wants to take it over and fix the issues.
