Rustpad is a self-hosted collaborative code editor built on the operational transformation algorithm, with a Rust backend using warp and a React/TypeScript frontend powered by Monaco. It stores documents in memory over WebSockets, requiring no database and fitting in a tiny Docker image.
Use cases
- collaboratively edit code in the browser in real time
- self-host a lightweight shared notepad without a database
- pair-programming scratchpad for quick snippets
- share transient text documents with teammates via URL
- run a minimal collaborative editor in a small Docker container
When to choose
- you want real-time collaborative editing with zero database setup
- you need a lightweight, fast self-hosted editor in a tiny Docker image
- transient documents that expire after inactivity are acceptable
When to avoid
- you need persistent document storage across server restarts
- you require authentication, permissions, or access control
- you need offline editing or peer-to-peer sync
