Say I’d be looking for a tool or service (hosted or self-hosting) that allowed me and others to collaboratively edit and live preview Markdown files in a browser … would you have a recommendation for me?

Bonus points for Vim and/or Git integration. RTs/Boosts appreciated.

Okay, so the suggestions boil down to
• CodiMD <https://github.com/codimd>, a fork of HackMD
• CryptPad <https://cryptpad.fr/>, has end-to-end encryption

Neither have a ready to use Git integration (let alone Vim plugin), but at least some kind of an API. Thanks everyone!

CodiMD

Collaborative markdown notes. CodiMD has 11 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

@scy regarding the codimd api there's an bash CLI https://github.com/codimd/cli

codimd/cli

A tiny CLI for CodiMD. Contribute to codimd/cli development by creating an account on GitHub.

@scy Gollum https://github.com/gollum/gollum would have the missing features, but lacks the cooperation part. Can someone cross-breed please? 😉

@scy I only know of https://github.com/codimd/server and have never used it so I can't say how good it really is. The demo worked fine though.

@scy kodimd comes to mind.
But if you find something like a wikipad (i.e. a wiki with a pad-like collaborative editor), I'd be highly interested 😎
