Every once in a while, you take on an ambitious project, bite off more than you can chew, and learn a lot along the way… 😅
I’m excited to release Nuke Survival Toolkit v2.2.0, now featuring a brand-new Online Wiki, replacing the previous Google Docs setup. Each tool now has its own dedicated page with embedded videos and images, along with a fully functional search bar.
For folks working in internet-restricted environments, there’s also a downloadable Offline Wiki (~70MB). It mirrors the online version (minus video embeds), so you can browse everything locally without internet access. The PDF documentation is now generated directly from the wiki, ensuring it always stays in sync.
Converting the Google Docs to a full wiki, packaging an efficient offline version, and maintaining a dynamic PDF pipeline was… a challenge. But it is now a well oiled system that is easy to update. This process also gave me a deeper appreciation for the effort behind maintaining high-quality documentation, credits, references, and educational resources. Kudos to all you Wiki warriors out there.
Hope the new wiki helps you find tools faster or discover ones you didn’t know were there.
