## What it is
Matterwiki is a simple, self-hosted wiki application for small teams to store and collaborate on knowledge, built with Node.js and React. Articles are organized under topics with transparent change history and an admin dashboard for user management.

## Use cases
- host an internal knowledge base for my team
- self-host a simple wiki for company documentation
- store onboarding guides and culture docs for employees
- collaboratively write and edit team notes
- track who changed which documentation and when
- replace complicated wiki software with something lightweight

## When to choose
- you have a small team that finds MediaWiki-style tools too complicated
- you want a lightweight self-hosted wiki with SQLite out of the box
- you need simple topic-based organization and edit history

## When to avoid
- you need enterprise features like granular permissions, plugins, or SSO
- you require a stable, actively maintained release (v0.3.0 is still in progress)
- you need large-scale or multi-tenant wiki hosting

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: experimental
- function: web-framework, editor, auth
- domain: self-hosted, documentation, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: wiki, knowledge-base, collaboration, react, sqlite, team-documentation, nodejs, web-server
