What is BookStack?
BookStack is a free and open source knowledge management platform built on PHP. The system has been built around simplicity to ensure that adding information to it is not a chore. The content structure is built on the metaphors of Books, Chapters & Pages. BookStack uses a WYSIWYG editor to create and edit content so users don't have to memorise some particular mark-up.

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.
Great for documentation and it keeps getting better and better!
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.
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!
