Open source
Frameworks you can own.
Free, flat-file, no database. Clone them, brand them, and run them as your own.
Flat-file, no database, open source. Self-host and brand as your own.
We build software for clients and we ship our own. These frameworks came out of internal work we needed done and decided to share. They are not demos or prototypes. They are the actual tools we use, including BrightWiki, which runs on Docstack.
Because they are flat-file and database-free, there is nothing to provision and nothing to migrate. Fork a repo, add your own styles, and it is yours. You can pull updates from upstream anytime without losing your customizations.
