Cristal

What's Cristal

• A new xwiki.org project to provide a modern knowledge base front-end
• A wiki UI to rule them all: Provide a UI that can be plugged onto various content backends (XWiki, local file system, GitHub, etc.)
• Usable in various forms:
  • From a URL in your browser
  • Executable locally on your computer (Electron application).
  • Embeddable in backends. For example, the intent on the long run is to have Cristal be used by XWiki as its native UI
• Ability to work offline, reconnect, and sync content.
