Show HN: AsyncDocs, a real-time and secure collaborative Markdown editor
asyncdocs.com
At my company we usually constrained what we can use for real-time collaboration. It usually consists of MS Word (online), Confluence or something similar. Between software developers we use VS Code's Live Share feature but it takes forever to spin it and it does not always work. Furthermore, non-developers are not keen to install VS Code and use Live Share. I also looked at available tools but I don't think we could use those, being Europe and in an Enterprise world.
So as I've created my own: https://asyncdocs.com/ It is currently in active development but I think it already has enough features to gather feedback: - user interaction are synchronised to every other client in real time - every communication is encrypted in the browser so the server knows nothing - it has a presence display to see if somebody else is working on the document - cursor and selection of other authors are displayed - local documents: documents are saved in the browser and can be pasted at the cursor - easily shareable links: just click on the document id to copy the link
Any feedback is appreciated but I am curios if anybody else would have a use of it. Also what do you think of the UX and design? What feature would make you want to use it?
