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.
Gonna throw in EtherPad. It’s been like ten years, since I properly used it, but I believe, it’s relatively minimal, so pretty much just Markdown.
There’s also lots of publicly hosted instances you can use: https://scanner.etherpad.org/
