Hackpad is an open source web-based realtime wiki, based on the open source EtherPad collaborative document editor.
Hackpad allows users to share your docs realtime and it uses color coding to show which authors have contributed to which content. It also allows in line photos, checklists and can also be used for coding as it offers syntax highlighting.
NOTE — The Hackpad service has been discontinued.
Features include:
- Very rich set of functions, similar to those offered by wikis.
- Take collaborative notes, share data and files, and use comments to share your thoughts in real-time or asynchronously.
- Granular privacy permissions enable you to invite a single friend, a dozen teammates, or thousands of Twitter followers.
- Intelligent execution.
- Directly embed videos from popular video sharing sites.
- Tables.
- Syntax highlighting for most common programming languages including C, C#, CSS, CoffeeScript, Java, and HTML.
