Hackpad is a web-based realtime wiki built on the open source EtherPad collaborative document editor, originally developed by Dropbox. The repository is no longer actively developed and only tracks community forks.
Use cases
- self-host a realtime collaborative wiki
- collaboratively edit documents in the browser
- run an EtherPad-based team knowledge base
- study a realtime collaborative editor implementation
- fork a discontinued collaborative wiki platform
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted realtime collaborative wiki based on EtherPad
- you need a historical codebase to study or fork for collaborative editing features
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with bug fixes and security updates
- you want a modern wiki - consider maintained alternatives like Etherpad itself or Wiki.js
- you require clear, permissive licensing - the license is non-standard (NOASSERTION) with many redistributed components
