OpenWiki Hits 1.7K GitHub Stars in Two Days, Expands Beyond Coding

OpenWiki 📈📈

What do you want to see from a general purpose wiki?

@hwchase17 Google Workspace and Microsoft Office 365 any surface where the majority of people live and get work done.

OpenWiki is at 1.7k stars in just 3 days!

Right now it's just for codebases, but we're working to expand it to everything for memory.

What do you want to see in a general purpose memory wiki agent?

@hwchase17 Love the team but idk why advertise more when it genuinely doesn’t work for most repos. No issues have been addressed.

@hwchase17 Obsedian

@hwchase17 Computer screen 🤣, I mean everything, wiki-recording

@hwchase17 Cool And if I’m building an OSS framework that uses the broader ecosystem, is there any way I could publish it under langchain-ai?

@BraceSproul How effective, asking out of serious curiosity, is this going to be on large scale monoliths ? Like for example a code base of dozen modules with 50k+ classes and thousands of properties...

@BraceSproul @hwchase17 I am about to implement it in 70+ repos on Monday watch out 🤣

@hwchase17 🚀 Just shipped PR #68 to openwiki — DeepSeek is now a first-class provider! Added V3 Chat + R1 Reasoner models with a smart fetch rewriter for their text-only API. 91 lines, zero breaking changes. Ready for review! 🙌 #DeepSeek #LangChain #OpenSource

@hwchase17 The "general purpose" ask is the trap. Every internal wiki tool dies when it becomes the place for everything. The coding constraint was a feature — it forced a tight retrieval contract. Add Slack and GDrive and you're building Confluence again.

@hwchase17 The sources people want and the ones you can safely serve aren't the same list. Notion, Gmail, GDrive, Slack are all permission-scoped per user. A single shared wiki index over them either leaks across a team or flattens to what everyone can already see.

@BraceSproul 先把个人笔记和项目上下文串起来就很实用了

@hwchase17 Slack + GDrive feels like the highest-signal pair for agent work: decisions live in threads, specs live in docs, and the gaps between them are where context gets lost.

@hwchase17 Slack 和 GDrive 应该会被催爆吧

@hwchase17 Business docs (share point), comm (teams/slack), and histories (meeting transcripts/recordings)

@hwchase17 I think Obsidian is everyone's favorite Markdown App right now, but I disagree since I wrote something better which is this:

@hwchase17 URLs, PDF, pptx, docs, png, assuming md support already exists 🤩

@BraceSproul GLM 5.2 listed as a default alongside Sonnet 5 says a lot. Open-weight models at near-frontier performance are practical choices for utility workloads like documentation generation.
