Episode description

Today, we’re diving into HedgeDoc, an open-source, self-hosted, collaborative markdown editor often described as “Google Docs for markdown lovers.” It’s a web-based platform that facilitates real-time collaboration, letting users write and work together seamlessly without needing downloads or installations. HedgeDoc’s features include a presentation mode for turning notes into slides, and it supports graphs and diagrams, making it versatile for both text and visual content.

HedgeDoc originated from HackMD, a collaborative markdown platform popular within the tech community. HackMD split into an enterprise and a community version, with the latter evolving into Coding MD, and eventually HedgeDoc. This journey reflects the community’s commitment to transparency and control over their data, embodying a movement toward user-driven, open-source software.

Among HedgeDoc’s FAQs, one common question is whether multiple instances can run on the same database. Unfortunately, the answer is no, as HedgeDoc instances need dedicated space to prevent conflicts and data loss. For high availability, it’s best to ensure one instance is always active to reduce downtime.
