Hello, I’m looking for a simple collaborative text editor. We do have an office 365 subscription and it works, but the 10 minutes loading time every time you open a document are taking a strain on my mental sanity.
We don’t need nothing too fancy, markdown support would be a plus, especially with embedded latex formulas and possibly bibfile references.
The things I really need are a simple ways to add comments to text and a changes view to immediately see what a collaborator modified.
I’ve been taking a look at hackmd, it kind of fulfills the role, but the pricing is a bit high for the features available.
Could be self hosted too, but to be fair I’d rather not have to maintain it.
HedgeDoc also seems like an option that could do some of this. Self-hostable and open source (last I checked).
I tried the hedgedoc demo.
As far as I can see it supports latex and has some change revision mechanism. Unfortunately no bib file support, but I guess that’s ok.
However, I can not find a way to add comments to the rendered text. Is that possible on the self hosted version?
That would be a deal breaker, most of what I need is actually reading documents written by other people and ask for clarifications or improvements.
