Outline
Beautiful team knowledge base and wiki
Outline is the modern team knowledge base with real-time collaboration. With 30K+ GitHub stars, it provides a beautiful, fast wiki for growing teams. Markdown support, Slack integration, and a focus on discoverability make it the Notion alternative you can self-host.
Why Outline?
Knowledge gets trapped in Slack threads, scattered docs, and employee heads. When someone leaves, that knowledge walks out the door. Notion is great but can't be self-hosted. You need a beautiful, fast knowledge base that your team will actually use—one you control.
How It Works
Outline provides a modern wiki experience with real-time collaborative editing. Create nested document structures, link between pages, and use slash commands for quick formatting. Integration with Slack makes knowledge accessible where your team already works.
What Is Outline?
Outline is an open-source knowledge base and wiki. It provides real-time collaboration, markdown editing, semantic search, Slack integration, and a beautiful interface. Self-host or use the cloud service.
