Post-Notion Lightweight Team Wiki for Teams Drowning in Configuration
A growing wave of teams are quietly leaving Notion because it requires building your own system before you can use it. HN discussions about using codebases as wikis, Medium articles analyzing why users abandon Notion, and XDA reporting Notion is falling behind alternatives all point to demand for a team wiki that works out of the box without weeks of database and template configuration.
The HN thread reveals a split: technical teams want markdown-in-git, non-technical teammates want a pretty editor. The winner bridges both. Build a wiki where content is stored as markdown files in a git repo but edited through a clean web UI with real-time collaboration. Obsidian Publish is adjacent but not collaborative.

Nuclino and Slite are the closest to 'simple team wiki that works immediately' but both have pricing or feature gaps. Open-source options (Docmost, AFFiNE) are immature. The specific gap is a wiki that combines Nuclino's simplicity with AI-native content generation and codebase/git integration for technical teams.
