It is geared +particularly towards creating a personal wiki — a place where you can +share some portion of your notes with the world. It takes inspiration +from the likes of [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) and +[MediaWiki](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki). + +Three of Seam's key design tenets are: + +- Org files and their resultant HTML files should always be kept in + sync. +- It should be easy to create multiple sites using different subsets + of the same note collection. +- Notes should not be unnecessarily clouded with metadata. + +Be aware that Seam is a fully self-contained package, and is not +likely to be compatible with things like Org-roam due to its vastly +different approach. + +### Getting started + +The easiest way to begin is to follow the brief +[tutorial](https://wiki.plexwave.org/seam-tutorial). + +### Documentation + +Seam's manual is still being written. In the meantime, the [project +page](https://wiki.plexwave.org/seam) contains some more tidbits you +might find useful. + +I have endeavored to make Seam fairly self-documenting, so check the +docstrings and the Seam customization group when in any doubt. |
