Firepad is an open-source collaborative code and text editor library powered by Firebase for real-time sync and storage, designed to be embedded in web applications. It supports rich text and code editing modes and requires no server-side code.

Use cases

• add real-time collaborative text editing to a web app
• build a shared code editor like Google Docs for code
• embed a collaborative rich text editor in my application
• sync editor state across multiple users with Firebase
• build a collaborative notepad or whiteboard-style editor

When to choose

• you already use Firebase Realtime Database and want collaborative editing
• you need an embeddable, serverless collaborative editor in a web app
• you want CodeMirror-based collaborative code editing

When to avoid

• you need a project under active development with new features and triaged issues
• you don't want a Firebase dependency for sync and storage
• you need a standalone editor application rather than an embeddable component
