The Bitxenia Astrawiki node is an implementation of a client for a decentralized peer-to-peer read-write wiki within the [IPFS](https://ipfs.tech) ecosystem. It leverages technologies such as [OrbitDB](https://github.com/orbitdb/orbitdb) for the database and [LibP2P](https://github.com/libp2p/js-libp2p) for peer-to-peer communication between collaborators. With this node, users can connect to an existing wiki or create their own, allowing to create, read, and edit articles in a collaborative manner.

A _frontend_ client can be built using the node to make the wiki more accessible. The node can be used locally or from a web application. At Bitxenia, we provide our own [web client](https://github.com/bitxenia/astrawiki-web), but users are free to create their own if desired.
