bliptext

• Purpose: Bliptext.com is a wiki platform where users can collaboratively edit articles with a unique twist—each user can only edit one word every 30 seconds. It aims to provide a fun, chaotic alternative to Wikipedia by removing traditional edit restrictions.

• Content: The platform has ported 2.1 million Wikipedia articles and converted them into a simplified Markdown format. However, it emphasizes that it is not a replacement for Wikipedia and some information may be missing.

• Features:

  • Real-time collaborative editing with word-by-word restrictions.
  • Custom Markdown flavor with unique tags like summary (for one-time use) and wikibox (for visual examples).
  • Social vandalism encouraged—users can rewrite articles with friends, creating a misinformation-heavy environment.
  • Only administrators can create new articles to maintain structure.

• Target Audience: Users looking for a playful, unrestricted wiki experience, particularly those interested in collaborative chaos or creative rewriting.

• Self-Hosting: The project is open for self-hosting with PostgreSQL, Redis, and WebSocket support for real-time features. However, it is dual-licensed:

  • Article content: CC BY-SA 4.0 (derived from Wikipedia).
  • Code & original content: Non-commercial CC BY-NC 2.0.

• Note: The project discourages major architectural pull requests without prior discussion and maintains a lighthearted, non-competitive stance against Wikipedia.
