Stack: Node.js, Express, Sequelize (Postgres)

Wikology is a node based application for creating and sharing wikis. As a user with a free account you can create as many wikis as you'd like, as well as edit other user's wikis. You can also upgrade to a premium account (using the Stripe API client) and create private wikis that are only visible by you and your chosen collaborators (who must also be premium users).
To start, click sign up to create an account and then you are ready to start making and collaborating on all the public wikis.
To try out the premium account feature, Stripe has a list of test payment credentials you can use such as 4242 4242 4242 4242 and any random 3 digit CVV code, use with a random fake email.
