Caelus, knowledge hub

Write it down, together.

Caelus is where documentation, runbooks and decisions live. Edit together in real time, keep every page as Markdown, and see exactly what changed.

Early development.

A Caelus page in the editor with a page tree on the left, a heading, formatted text and a Mermaid diagram.

Collaborative editing, stored as Markdown

A WYSIWYG editor that several people can use at once. Underneath, every page is plain Markdown, so your content stays readable and portable.

  • Spaces and page trees
  • Real-time collaborative WYSIWYG editing
  • Paste Markdown and it renders
  • Code blocks
  • Attachments with inline previews

History you can read

Compare any two versions with the changes shown inline, word by word. Where a page needs a second pair of eyes, turn on review and approval before it publishes.

  • Page history with inline word-level diffs
  • Optional review and approval before publishing
Caelus page history comparing two versions, with added words highlighted green and removed words highlighted red inline in the text.

Diagrams and live data

Draw it, or describe it, and keep it next to the text.

  • Mermaid and Draw.io diagrams
  • Macros that embed live Minerva roadmaps
  • Macros that embed Mercury ticket lists
  • Publish articles to the Mercury knowledge base so requesters can find answers themselves

Works with the rest of Castra

Link to a Minerva issue or Mercury ticket and see a live preview in the page.
