## Welcome > [!NOTE] > *First of all, there are no otters here. I'm utterly sorry about that. When I started this project, the name was given by the decision to write an otter wiki. > -- Ralph* This is the home of **An Otter Wiki**. A minimalistic wiki powered by python, markdown and git. ### Notable Features - Minimalistic interface with dark-mode support - Editor with tools for convenient markdown editing - Upload and attach files to pages or paste images directly in the editor - Version tracking allows to compare revisions and revert changes - User authentication with self-registration and password recovery - Extended Markdown: tables, footnotes, fancy blocks, alerts and mermaid diagrams - Customizable Sidebar: Create a menu and/or display a page index - (experimental) Git http server: clone, pull and push the content of your wiki - A very cute Otter as logo (drawn and released by [Christy Presler](https://christypresler.com/) under CC BY 3.0) ### Try It Out * Want to see An Otter Wiki in action?
