Getting Started

Start a text-first wiki that keeps core pages tiny.

Instant Wiki is a text-first wiki boilerplate built around one idea: keep each route lightweight while still being practical to author and maintain.

Core Constraints

• HTML + CSS + critical JS <= 14KB (gzip)
• No client-side frameworks
• No external fonts
• Images lazy loaded

Workflow

1. Write content in content/*.md.
2. Build static pages with Astro.
3. Generate dist/search-index.json from markdown pages.
4. Review transfer budgets in the build report.
