Campfire vs Huijiwiki

Campfire brings together writing software, a mobile writing app, an online eBook store and a reading app for authors, publishers and readers. Its Manuscript Module supports drafting, chapter organization on a digital corkboard, Index Card View, word-count goals and writing statistics. Worldbuilding tools include modules for characters, cultures, items, locations, philosophies, religions, species, systems, an encyclopedia, magic, maps, research, timelines, arcs, calendars, languages and relationships. Users can invite as many collaborators as they want to view, comment on or edit a project. Campfire states that storage is unlimited across its apps, and manuscripts can be exported as PDF or EPUB. The free desktop app for Mac and Windows supports offline writing. The iOS and Android mobile app requires internet access and omits some modules; free-plan element limits apply in browser and desktop access. Campfire says it backs up work with Amazon servers and keeps projects limited to invited people until sharing or publication. Authors can publish eBooks and digital bonus content and connect Stripe for royalties and sales analytics.

Huijiwiki is a hosted wiki farm where users can apply to create topic-focused wikis. It is built on MediaWiki and combines Semantic MediaWiki with a Bootstrap-based interface; its server side uses Huijiwiki’s DragonPit architecture. The platform supports semantic solutions and MongoDB-based structured data, while wiki operators can add their own styles and scripts. Content and functions support responsive reading and editing on mobile devices. Huijiwiki can migrate data from Wikia, Gamepedia and other MediaWiki-based sites. It supports the MediaWiki API and adds interfaces of its own. On sites using its WeChat public platform integration, users can send a term and receive lookup results. The maker lists security measures including SSL, encrypted storage of privacy information and data-center access controls. Registration and applications to create a hosted wiki are free, but approval is not guaranteed. The service does not offer private deployment or access-permission features, and the maker advises against using it for personal notes.
