Teamtype
Real-time co-editing of local text files
Teamtype (previously Ethersync) aims to enable real-time collaborative editing of local text files. Similar to Etherpads, it facilitates multiple users to work on content simultaneously, enabling applications such as shared notes or pair programming. However, following a "local-first" approach, all files reside on the users' computers, allowing them to use their familiar editors and workflows, and to retain user control. This design enables a kind of collaboration that is simple and direct, stable and flexible, and preserves privacy. Teamtype is a supplement to tools that track larger changes on text files, like Git, and can be used in combination with it. The project leverages CRDTs, and consists of a server component, a cross-platform local synchronization daemon, and editor plugins.
