about remote working tools with Free Software, just recently saw [..]
- https://github.com/codimd/server (Realtime collaborative markdown notes on all platforms.)
Does anybody has experiences with those tools?
Yes, I'm using CodiMD quite frequently, but don't have a definite opinion on it yet. It is great for its core functions, but I am missing functionalities that would allow long-term management of individual notes. Whether the pros and cons are relevant for you will depend quite a bit on your use case:
+ Works great as collaborative online pad (tested with 4-6 users) + Good support for "extended" MarkDown, so you never need any of the formating buttons + Allows display of only the rendered output, therefore "read only" users never have to see the MarkDown + Basic access control, differentiating owner, registered users and world + Tagging of notes
- No possibility for fine-grained access control, e.g., specific users - User interface beyond the editor is very limited, e.g., no possibility to list all notes owned by the user (this is different from the history which does exist). - Only a rudimentary API
Hope that helps!
Best, Christian
