# Building a Wiki Software with Laravel and Filament

For many reasons, now I have the availability to put my mind to building this solution.

It's now living in this [Github Repo](https://github.com/ijpatricio/wikicenter), and there are some [Live Streamings](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2Njk5tK9lmuM5Oac06vxILXJvoYS3Qrs) while coding it.

I started it a few months ago with a different stack. While I didn't have time to make more live streaming on this, I've been changing my stack opinion for this project.

I won't take much time. This post is an outline of what this solution is.

Well, you got it; it's Wiki Software. A wiki is a website or online resource that multiple users can edit.

We get numerous outputs from it:

* Documentation website (not static generated): may have a public part or be authenticated only, permission-based access, etc.
    
* Knowledge base for company internal tools. Versioned controlled documents. Approval workflows.
    
* Output to Web and PDF. Network publishing ensures that only published and approved versions are visited by such networks.
    
* Web catalogs, eBooks
    
* Custom forms, polls
    
* Charts and Reports
    

That's it, and I hope you enjoy it!

This is fully open-source software, MIT licensed.

Should you not know the TALL stack, it's an acronym for [Tailwind](https://tailwindcss.com/), [AlpineJS](https://alpinejs.dev/), [Laravel](https://laravel.com/), and [Livewire](https://laravel-livewire.com/).

This stack is permissive to receive browser components in another language, such as [Web Components](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Web_Components) or [ReactJS](https://react.dev/) / [VueJS](https://vuejs.org/) / other JS. Be mindful - not as a complete application (SPA), but as portions of the screen.

Not only this, a couple of picks take this rapid application development a step (or ten) further: [Filament](https://filamentphp.com/), [Fabricator](https://github.com/z3d0x/filament-fabricator), and [Spatie packages](https://spatie.be/open-source?search=&sort=-downloads).

It will make use of Docker as a development and production artifact. It will also be possible to code with [GitPod](https://gitpod.io/), a cloud-based development environment; more on that later.

Here is the [first video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRI9-DzXOkI&list=PL2Njk5tK9lmuM5Oac06vxILXJvoYS3Qrs), don't forget to like it if that's the case, and subscribe.

I hope all of this excites you, and let's keep you updated in the future!

Happy coding! 🚀
