Have a look at Nuclino (https://www.nuclino.com), essentially a real-time wiki for teams. We're eliminating modes the way you describe in order to speed up the workflow. It supports edit-in-place, changes are automatically saved and you can collaborate in real-time (like in Google Docs), but you also have core wiki features like easy linking and consistent styles.
We’re building the wiki engine https://www.nuclino.com based on Prosemirror. It would be great to get your feedback on it! I think a single editing mode is the way to go and Prosemirror's flexibility allows us to strike a great balance between usability for non-technical users (via menus) and speed for technical users (via markdown commands).
I'm glad you like the UI. Unfortunately, making the entire wiki public is not possible at the moment due to our focus on teams and companies. They use it to share knowledge internally and explicitly don’t want to have it indexed and publicly accessible.
It could be interesting though to expand Nuclino for the use in communities in the future as a lot of requirements overlap.
Thanks for the comment! We did not receive this feedback before, but we'll test it with more users and check if it makes sense to adjust or remove the animations.
We believe in what we do and so far we've not been able to find another product with the same focus that builds upon the same principles and ideas. Wanting Nuclino to exist and our passion to create it, is what drives us most. As for competition from established players, I wholeheartedly agree with the comment from davidjgraph. Every new startup faces this challenge, but history shows that it can be difficult for large companies to mimic the success of new products.
Even though we'd love to, we don't offer mobile apps yet. You can use Nuclino in a mobile browser, but it's not something we've been focusing on. As far as priorities go, we're currently focused on web and desktop first, but we'll release mobile apps eventually.
Hi boyd, that's a good point. We're considering to add certain SSO providers like Google Suite to the basic plan and others like Active Directory to premium. Glad you like the table editor!
There's no chat feature in Nuclino at the moment as most teams use it together with a chat tool like Slack. But we're planning to add some lightweight commenting soon.
Resizing a picture is not possible, but we're planning to add different size options like full-width vs. normal-width for each image. Would that solve what you're trying to achieve?
