gollark: So yes, there is MUCH minoteaur.
gollark: Oh, additional possible extra things, actually:- scripting language of PURE insanity- advanced logging capabilities or at least just a dokuwiki-style "trace" bar showing recently visited pages- structured data handling- good API
gollark: - working search- keyboard shortcuts- nice editor- general convenience features- file upload- maths block rendering- other extended markdown- diffs
gollark: Oh, many things.
gollark: I will continue to make negligible progress wrt. minoteaur.
