Vrite
Collaborative platform for developer docs, blogs, and knowledge bases
Vrite provides a modern WYSIWYG editor, Kanban dashboard, AI semantic search, and extensible API for creating, managing, and deploying product documentation, technical blogs, and knowledge bases.
Overview
Overview
Vrite is a developer‑focused content platform that combines a rich WYSIWYG editor with native Markdown support, real‑time collaboration, and an AI‑powered semantic search engine. Its Kanban and List view dashboard lets teams organise writing tasks, while an extensible API and plugin system enable custom front‑ends and workflows.
Who it's for
Designed for engineering teams, technical writers, and product groups that need a centralized, searchable knowledge base. Whether you are building product documentation, a technical blog, or an internal SOP repository, Vrite’s collaborative tools keep content consistent and up‑to‑date.
Deployment
The project can be self‑hosted using Docker or the provided scripts, giving full control over data and infrastructure. For teams preferring a managed solution, Vrite Cloud offers a hosted option with the same feature set.
