Consider piggybacking on full featured collaborative editors #326

Open autonome opened 5 years ago

Using Peerpad is a pretty big step down from Hackmd, Cryptpad, Etherpad, etc mostly just because of the time spent on it and therefor the design and feature gap.

I wonder if it'd be worth hacking on a fork of one of those to make it use the Peerpad core.

Alternatively, we could try collaborating with some of those editors to explore adding peer-* support to their projects.

This was considered and discussed with one vendor, but the complexity of the integration and stability/performance of peer-base at that time made it a non-starter (although both have since improved). Making a pluggable core is still IMO the most viable trajectory for this project, but that requires significantly more resources and organizational support than is currently available.
