Framapad
Collaborative online text editor.
Framapad is an online collaborative text editor. Multiple users can edit a document simultaneously, with each contributor's changes highlighted in a different color and appearing in real time. Users can chat with the group, restore previous versions from the history, and export the finished work. Public pads have a limited lifetime based on the last modification date. Users can create a password‑protected account with a dedicated space to manage pads and access rights. The service is free, without ads or tracking. It is based on the open‑source software Etherpad (Apache 2.0 license). Framasoft, a French non‑profit association, hosts the service and collects minimal data. The code is transparent and publicly verifiable. Users are free to install the software on their own server.
