BananaWiki 1.0.0 (internal)

BananaWiki hit 1.0.0 today. Internal release, no signups, no public instance yet. But every piece of the thing works at the same time, which has not been true for the last four months.

Short recap for whoever landed here by accident: BananaWiki is a Flask platform where you make your own wiki. Markdown pages, private or public spaces, users with roles, and a plugin system that carries the interesting parts: mind maps, Kanban boards, canvas, chat.

Where it stands

The plugin count is the number I care about. Everything past the wiki core is a plugin, including the boring built-ins, so the core stays small and anything I regret can be deleted without surgery.

Most of that drop is me removing things I should never have written. Caching helped. Deleting three abstraction layers helped more.

What 1.0.0 does not mean

• it only runs internally, for the Officina
• it is not open source yet
• it is not stable under people who actively want to break it

It means the version number stops pretending. Next step is putting it somewhere other people can reach.

Update, September 2026: it is open source now. Here's the post.
