This enables seamless pair programming and co-authoring workflows without conflicts.
Key Features:
  • Real-time operational transformation for conflict-free editing
  • Lightweight Go server with low resource footprint
  • Supports multiple concurrent document sessions
  • Web-based client interface for easy access
  • Programmable via API for integration into other tools

Alternatives:
  • Etherpad – More mature with extensive plugin ecosystem, but heavier resource usage
