Cristal is a modular, extensible, and embeddable Wiki User Interface built with Vue and TypeScript. It offers a modern, polished interface using VueJS and supports offline and real-time editing. Built to be data storage agnostic, it is embeddable in several existing collaboration and knowledge management solutions (e.g., XWiki, a local file system, a Nextcloud storage, or a GitHub repository).
In this talk, I will showcase how Cristal can be embedded seamlessly as a Nextcloud application, allowing Nextcloud administrators to provide knowledge management to their users in a few clicks. In particular, I'll highlight how past design choices helped embed Cristal in Nextcloud. But also present a return of experience of the unexpected issues faced in the process. I will also present other features developed this year (integration of the BlockNote editor, support for macros) and how they will benefit current and future Cristal users.
