What is it?

BookStack is a self-hosted platform that allows you to store information in an organized and accessible way. There are several reasons I chose this, but mainly, it's ease of use and deployment. I was looking for something similar to Confluence from Atlassian, but was free and could also be made publicly available. This Wiki platform was perfect for that, and I've now started to use for essentially any and all of my note taking. I view it as my personal version of OneNote, but better, as I can choose to make "shelves" or "books" publicly available as I finish working on them and even let users collaborate and contribute.
