Find md editor to colloborate easily on MD paper

[loostrum]

For the workshops we use http://hackmd.io/. It's quite nice, but sometimes lags a bit and starts messing up text when many (>15) people are working in it at the same time.

This blog post puts socraties.io on the top of the list.

• I can't access socrates.io! Could somebody else try it?

• I gave a look at stackedit (3rd on the list). It works online as well as offline, and it allows to add a github workspace, but it asks read and write access for the public repositories:

  

• If none of the above works, I propose to use hackmd, which you already know and is the second on the blog post list. I think we should choose before the next stand up so we can unblock other issues.

It doesn't work for me either. With the website apparently gone, and the latest commit on their Github 9 years ago, I think it's safe to assume it won't come back. I'd vote for HackMD in that case as well

@gcroci2 , did you try HackMD?

[cwmeijer]

I just installed and tried HackMD. You have to give it access to your Github account, which makes sense of course. You can pull versions from Github into the editor and then start working as you would on Overleaf. You can make comments but those are included in the MD file and are even shown when rendering the MD file (example comment). This is not necessarily a bad thing. After everyone is done editing, you can push the document back to Github. This can only be done 20 times per month. Depending on our workflow this can be more than enough. If we want to push more often, we need to pay ~5 dollar/euro per month per team member, which is about as expensive as me writing this comment I guess.

I haven't tried any other editors (Stackedit.io sounds exactly the same?) but this one seems adequate. It can have my vote and be done with it :-)

[gcroci2]

I tried HackMD as well and I think it's nice that you can link Github repo and that it comes with a side preview like overleaf, and we could make useful use of the comments while drafting. So I give it my vote too :)

we chose hackmd

link to edit paper.md: https://hackmd.io/@gcroci2/BywaTzTJc/edit

[loostrum]

I think anyone that is signed in to hackmd can edit the paper with that link, could anyone confirm if that is indeed the case? The chances of misuse are probably slim, but perhaps we don't want to post the link publicly

For now I changed the note permission to Owners, and I think only me/the owners of the repo can access. But definitely we should check this. Could someone help me check it out?
