Dunno if this will have any bearing at all on your work Terry, but the synchronicity of this coming to my attention unbidden is too interesting to ignore: http://www.firepad.io/
""" How is Firepad different than other collaborative text editors? Most collaborative text editors require special code to run on a server, making them impractical to use if you're not already using the right server stack. Firepad has no server dependencies and instead relies on Firebase for real-time data synchronization. This means that it's easy to add Firepad to any application, even static websites. All you need to do is drop in the JavaScript files and go. """ The magic is in the backend, Firebase, whose approach to mirroring and synchronizing distributed database is "be like dropbox", e.g. it's a cloud service. The pricing model is curious, a free tier (of course, gotta get 'em hooked), and then a jump to $24/mth. Seems to me a rather big jump. Anyway, just thought I'd share so the ideas behind the product more than the actual product itself are part of the mix. cheers, -matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
