Community Edition

The core is open source.
We didn’t gut it beforehand.

Block-based translation, real-time editing, content workflow, search with your own API keys. It’s all there. Self-host it, read every line of code, extend it with plugins. No “open source, but all useful features cost extra” false advertising.

Not available yet. Star the repo to be notified as soon as we release it.

What you get

This isn’t a trial version or a stripped-down demo. It’s a production-ready documentation platform that you run on your own hardware.

🌐

Block-based translation

The entire translation engine. Content is divided into blocks, each tracked via a content hash. If you change a paragraph, only that paragraph is retranslated. Integrate your own DeepL, OpenAI, or any other translation provider.

Open Source

Real-time editor

A rich-text editor based on TipTap with SignalR running in the background for live collaboration. Multiple people can edit the same document and see each other’s cursors and changes in real time. Block IDs are preserved across all edits.

Open Source

Content Expiration

Every entry is assigned an expiration date. Authors are reminded before content becomes outdated. Renewal workflows keep documents up to date. Basic expiration scoring is built-in.

Open Source
🤖

Search & Chat

Semantic search across your documents, plus a chat agent that answers questions using your content as context. Bring your own OpenAI or Azure key. You pay the provider directly; we don’t act as an intermediary.

Open Source
🔌

Plugin SDK

Develop your own translation providers, import/export formats, Action Guards, and event handlers. The complete SDK with every documented extension point. Deliver plugins as DLLs or npm packages.

Open Source
📖

Reader Portal

A separate interface for people who just need to find and read content. Topic-based navigation instead of the hub structure used by creators. Search, recency indicators, clean layout.

Open Source
🔐

Permissions

Roles for viewers, editors, and administrators at the hub and entry level. Owner tracking, member management, and the ability to delegate permissions. Global admin role for system settings.

Open Source
📦

Docker self-hosting

One docker-compose up and you’re ready to go. .NET 8 backend, Vue 3 frontend, SQL Server or PostgreSQL. Your infrastructure, your data, your rules.

Open Source
📄

Full REST API

Every feature is accessible via the API. Swagger documentation included. Create integrations, automate workflows, and connect everything to the tools your team already uses.

Open Source

What complements the cloud

Everything from the community, plus the things you’d rather not manage yourself.

💚

Freshness scoring

The Community Edition tells you if something has expired. The Cloud Edition evaluates each document based on multiple signals: revision history, edit frequency, link status, content age. A single number that tells readers and search engines exactly how trustworthy a page is.

Cloud

Review Workflows

Checklists, review cycles, approval gates. Assign reviewers, track who has approved what, and block publication until reviews are complete. Exactly what regulated industries actually need.

Cloud
📚

Glossary & Style Guides

Managed glossaries that sync with DeepL. Language-specific style guides for tone and formality. Import your existing translation memories from CSV. What matters when you’re translating thousands of pages, not just ten.

Cloud
🎯

AI Credit Pool

A shared credit budget for your entire organization. Usage dashboards, budget control, and overage alerts. No one has to manage individual API keys or wonder why the bill has skyrocketed.

Cloud
📈

Analytics

Who reads what, for how long, and what nobody touches. Page views, dwell time, engagement patterns, inactivity flags. Useful for figuring out which documents should be phased out and which ones people rely on.

Cloud
🔒

SSO & Multi-Tenancy

SAML, tenant isolation, admin dashboard, user provisioning from your identity provider. The enterprise infrastructure that gives IT teams the confidence to say yes.

Why Open Source

Your documentation platform houses your team’s knowledge. It shouldn’t be a black box that you can’t inspect, extend, or leave without a migration nightmare.

The Community Edition uses the Business Source License (BSL 1.1). You can host it yourself, read every line of code, develop plugins, and customize it for your team. The only restriction: you may not take it and offer it as a hosted service to others. After four years, every version is transferred to Apache 2.0.

It’s the same license used by MariaDB, Sentry, and CockroachDB. The code remains open, and we can continue to develop it.

Here’s the deal

  • Host it yourself for free. Your hardware, your data. No user limits, no feature gating.
  • Bring your own keys. Integrate OpenAI for search, DeepL for translation—whatever you prefer. You pay the providers directly.
  • Build what you need. The plugin SDK is documented and open. Translation providers, export formats, workflow guards.
  • Cloud, when it makes sense. When managing the infrastructure is no longer worth it, the Cloud Edition is there for you.

Star the repo. We’ll get in touch.

The Community Edition is currently under development. We work transparently and release in waves.
