Your own little corner of now

Share what you’re up to, on a site that’s yours.

GetWigee turns a simple Markdown file in your public GitHub repository into a calm, browsable now-page widget. No CMS, no backend, no lock-in.

NOW

Building slowly, shipping often

30 July 2026

This week I simplified the onboarding flow, planted basil on the balcony, and finally published this now page.

wigeeOne file. A whole timeline.

Your words stay yours

Your updates live in your repository, not someone else’s silo.

Tiny by design

One dependency-free script. No database, account, or build step.

Made for your site

Use the calm defaults or bring your own stylesheet and layout.

How it works

Your repository becomes a very small, very portable CMS.

Write

Add your latest update to a plain status.md file.

Commit

GitHub keeps every version safely in your own public repo.

GetWigee fetches the file and shows it beautifully on your site.

Set up your now page

From GitHub to your website in five gentle steps.

You only need a public GitHub repository and a webpage where you can paste HTML.

1
Sign in to GitHub
Use an existing public GitHub account, or create a separate public account just for your now page. Never put private information or secrets in the repository.
Open GitHub
2
Create a public repository
Create a repository called now (or any name you prefer). Make sure its visibility is set to Publicso browsers can read your status file.

Add your status file

Create status.md in the repository. Start every entry with ##, add an optional subtitle in asterisks, and separate entries with exactly five dashes.

Keep the newest update at the top
Edit the file whenever you have something new to share. Put the fresh entry first; GetWigee opens on the first entry and keeps older ones available with arrow navigation.
5
Make your embed
Fill in the wizard below, copy the generated script, and paste it into your webpage exactly where the widget should appear.
Open the embed wizard

Embed wizard

Tell GetWigee where your updates live.

The code updates as you type. Fields marked optional can be left blank.

YOUR EMBED CODE

Paste this into your webpage.

<script
  src="https://getwigee.com/getwigee.js"
  data-owner="yourname"
  data-repo="now"
></script>

The script reads your file directly. It does not send your content through a GetWigee account or database.

A now page that feels like yours—because it is.

Keep the source. Keep the history. Share only when you have something worth saying.
