What is Keybase?

Keybase's feed is mostly broken crawls; the one real release (v6.6.0) is iOS polish from March.

Three of the four entries the crawler captured are GitHub error pages ('Sorry, something went wrong') that mostly contain a username and the standard tab navigation — the crawler is hitting profile pages that load partially. The only real content is v6.6.0 on March 6, which shipped iOS sharing improvements, Emoji 16 support, HEIC avatars, and assorted fixes.

What is Wiki.js?

Wiki.js 3.0 beta ships blog pages, comments, and enterprise auth — production readiness is close.

Wiki.js is in an active 3.0 beta sprint, releasing multiple builds per week. The stable 2.x branch is effectively in maintenance mode with only security patches, while all new capability ships in 3.0 beta. The current beta includes AsciiDoc editing, blog page types, built-in comments, analytics modules, Entra/LDAP/SAML/Discord auth with group mapping, audit logs, admin metrics, and sitemap generation.

1.3

Keybase's feed is mostly broken crawls; the one real release (v6.6.0) is iOS polish from March.

◆ Current state

Three of the four entries the crawler captured are GitHub error pages ('Sorry, something went wrong') that mostly contain a username and the standard tab navigation — the crawler is hitting profile pages that load partially. The only real content is v6.6.0 on March 6, which shipped iOS sharing improvements, Emoji 16 support, HEIC avatars, and assorted fixes.

◆ Where it's heading

Keybase remains in slow-maintenance mode under Zoom: sporadic point releases focused on mobile niceties, no signs of a meaningful directional push. Confidence is limited by the source quality — half the feed is unusable.

◆ Prediction

Source likely needs re-pointing to the GitHub releases feed for the keybase/client repo to capture future releases reliably. Product itself probably ships another iOS-focused point release before any cross-platform feature lands.

6.3

Wiki.js 3.0 beta ships blog pages, comments, and enterprise auth — production readiness is close.

◆ Current state

Wiki.js is in an active 3.0 beta sprint, releasing multiple builds per week. The stable 2.x branch is effectively in maintenance mode with only security patches, while all new capability ships in 3.0 beta. The current beta includes AsciiDoc editing, blog page types, built-in comments, analytics modules, Entra/LDAP/SAML/Discord auth with group mapping, audit logs, admin metrics, and sitemap generation.

◆ Where it's heading

3.0 is converging toward an RC. The recent additions — audit logs, admin metrics, page versioning, sitemap support, passkeys — read as enterprise and production-readiness checklists being ticked off. Content migration tools and full import/export parity with 2.x have not appeared yet, which likely defines the remaining RC blockers.

◆ Prediction

The next step is a release candidate once migration tooling appears in the changelog. The team's cadence suggests an RC within weeks, not months.
