HedgeDoc

HedgeDoc is an online editor that lets you work together on documents in Markdown format. It can be used for simple to highly complex notes, to-do lists, slide shows, and presentations.

HedgeDoc is based on the open-source project CodiMD and enables the simultaneous editing of documents in the browser. Changes made by multiple authors are synchronized live and are immediately visible to everyone. The result can be exported as Markdown, HTML, or PDF.
