syngrafias
A free and open-source synchronized authorship service for seamlessly collaborating on documents using workspaces and intuitive cells
Introduction
Syngrafias was born to address the need of a perfect document editing platform which could be collaborative, synchronous and non-intrusive at the same time. So we picked the best features of available technologies (like Jupyter Notebook and Google Docs) and put them together to build this beauty.
Be it documentation authorship or note making for a discussion, you could easily make use of the Unity Mode or the Cellular Mode as you see fit and share the workspace identity with your folks to invite them to collaborate with you as well in real time. Every activity is monitorable, logged and conveyed at all times
