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.
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.
