MultiMarkdown, Public Pages/Sites, Custom Domain Hosting

[craig]

Sorry to conflate three issues into one post, but I just wanted to
send a quick note and say how much potential I see in this service and
future developments I would be interested in. I'm actually writing a
humanities dissertation entirely in markdown right now, and I would
love to create a supplementary Wiki for it when I put myself on the
job market. Obviously, the two main features I would like to see are:

1. MMD support (especially for footnotes)
2. The ability to make pages (or hopefully entire wikis) public.

I saw both of these in the survey, which I already responded to.

Another thing that would be cool is if I could host the wiki on my own
domain. Not sure if that is in the short or long-term plan, but I
would be very interested!

Thanks,

Craig

Hi Craig, thanks for getting in touch.

I'd love to think that WikiPack would be able to help you with your dissertation! The Markdown engine currently supports tables, but not footnotes yet. Support will be added for them eventually though.

Public pages are definitely on the roadmap, and are an often requested feature. At the moment, I'm aiming to launch soon with two plans, Lite (no dropbox sync), and Personal (Dropbox sync and change history). After that there are a couple of features to roll out, like being able to set a default homepage, and an email inbox. Then the next major update will be publishing pages.

I've had another person ask about custom domains, but haven't looked into it yet. I'm not sure how feasible it is, but if it's possible I'd gladly offer it.

Can't offer an ETA for anything at this stage I'm afraid, but I'm working hard to keep innovating at a good clip.

Regards,

mark

Thanks for the quick reply, Mark. I'll look forward to your updates! And seriously, this is a really cool thing you've got going here.
