wayso

Wayso is a platform for creating, organizing, and sharing guided procedures, known as ways. A way is a structured sequence of steps that can include text instructions, images, videos, checklists, timers, and conditional logic. The system emphasizes clarity and reusability, enabling individuals and teams to assemble modular procedures that can be reused across tasks and projects.

Wayso provides a collaborative editor that supports real-time co-authoring, version history, and permission controls. Users can define roles, publish updates, and link related ways to build larger workflows. The platform supports branching for decision points, dependencies between steps, and offline access for fieldwork. Ways can be organized into collections and linked to projects, teams, and organizational units. An API and integrations with common tools allow importing content and exporting procedures to other systems.

Wayso is a cross-platform solution available as a web application and mobile apps. It emphasizes accessibility, with features such as offline mode, responsive design, and searchable metadata. The platform is used in various domains, including education, manufacturing, repair services, and research, where clear procedural guidance is important for training, quality control, and knowledge transfer.

Origin and governance: Wayso originated as a collaborative project aimed at improving procedural documentation and knowledge sharing. It has developed through community contributions and partnerships, with an emphasis on open standards and interoperability. The project maintains documentation and community forums to support adoption and governance.
