WikiWikiWiki is a flat-file wiki engine written in PHP for personal and small-team use. It is built around a simple idea: a wiki should feel like writing, and operating it should be obvious.

Core principles:

• Simplicity over feature sprawl
• File-first storage (plain text as source of truth)
• Clear operations (install, backup, restore, update)
• Small, reversible changes

What this means in practice:

• No database required
• Content is readable outside the app
• Backup and restore are straightforward
• Failure recovery is prioritized over cleverness

Non-goals:

• Becoming an all-in-one collaboration platform
• Adding complexity without operational benefit
