LeafWiki v0.11.0 is out. This month LeafWiki crossed 400 GitHub stars and was mentioned in the selfh.st newsletter — thank you all for using LeafWiki, filing issues, and supporting the project.
And a special thank you to the first three sponsors of LeafWiki. 🙏
“I just want to link pages by name”
Pages can now be linked using [[Title]] syntax.
The editor offers autocomplete as you type — matching page titles appear immediately so you don’t need to remember exact paths. When a title matches more than one page, a disambiguation dialog lets you choose the right target.
This came out of community discussion #1096 — thanks to everyone who shaped how disambiguation should work.
Before release, @eerison, @Tak-MK, @Hugo-Galley, @bengreeno, and @EduardSchwarzkopf tested the feature and caught real bugs — including a rename panic that would have shipped otherwise.
“I keep losing work when I forget to save”
Pages now save automatically while you type.
Conflict detection prevents overwriting changes made concurrently in another session. On mobile, there is a per-device toggle to disable auto-save when you prefer manual control.
With --enable-revision, edits made in the same session are grouped into a single revision — so auto-save doesn’t flood your revision history.
Mobile experience
The mobile editor has been overhauled in this release. The toolbar is streamlined, the title bar is decluttered, and topbar actions have been reduced to what’s actually needed on small screens. The History view now uses a dedicated tab bar. Broad layout fixes across all major screens round out the mobile pass.
Further highlights
Keyboard shortcuts dialog — discoverable shortcuts without digging through docs.
Nested YAML frontmatter via dot-notation — set properties like meta.author directly in frontmatter.
Significant bundle size reduction — faster initial load, especially on slower connections.
Broken links hidden for read-only users — pages with unresolvable links no longer expose dead links to readers without edit access.
