the built in Draw.io Graph editor is a game changer. Also the preset structure of the software with shelves, books, chapters, pages makes it very comprehendible to organise, sort and navigate.

Comments and Reviews
I use BookStack to keep track of my server endeavours. Any time I make a change to my server, I jot it down very quickly here.
Its true strength, however, lies not in its ability to support my quick and dirty note-taking, but in its ability to keep neat and structured documentation, with WYSIWYG support. Sometimes, people just want to get to the end result of what they documentation will look like. It also lets you focus on making your documentation more presentable to other viewers.
One of the worst documentation app I had to use. The markdown editor is horrible, it's not possible to have internal relative link like any any wiki, the browsing is not that good, it's actually hard to find what you need with the shelves and all.
the built in Draw.io Graph editor is a game changer. Also the preset structure of the software with shelves, books, chapters, pages makes it very comprehendible to organise, sort and navigate.
I've been searching for a self-hosted alternative to OneNote / Evernote. I've used some other ones and this does what I need without a lot of extra crap I don't want. Awesome software! Keep up the good development on it!
Great for documentation and it keeps getting better and better!
