Etherpad

What it does

Etherpad is a highly customizable Open Source online editor providing collaborative editing in really real-time. No more sending your stuff back and forth via email, just set up a pad, share the link and start collaborating!

Real-time collaborative editing where authorship is the default, your server is the only server, and you decide what AI (if any) ever touches your text. Needs git and Node.js ≥ 24. Then cd etherpad && pnpm run prod and open http://localhost:9001 . Other install options . Every keystroke is attributed to its author. Every revision is preserved. The timeslider lets you scrub through a document's entire history, character by character, watching it come into being. Author colours make collaboration visible at a glance — not buried in a menu. Other editors hide the history. Etherpad's history is the point. Etherpad runs on your server, under your governance. No telemetry. No upsells. No silent…from etherpad.org

  Resurf▲301

  Hi HN folks, Deep here. I am a design engineer and I have been building Resurf for the past 4 months. Resurf is a local first Mac app for quickly capturing notes, thoughts, ideas, inspiration, links, and files like PDFs and images without switching context. As a design engineer who cares a lot about craft, I built resurf because my “stuff I want to keep” was scattered across tabs, different apps, notes, screenshots, random folders, and I kept losing good references. A lot of tools exist, but I wanted something calm + polished that feels native on Mac (not another file manager). with Resurf…

  A basketball hoop to maximize shots that go in [video]▲971

  https://github.com/OlexG/finclaw ^ repo if anyone wants to contribute. I realized that sometimes I'm pretty good at making random guesses about the future. (I.E, I think OpenAI will beat Anthropic in the short term, etc...) However, I'm bad at converting these guesses into actual market plays I can profit from. As such, I wanted to make a tool that connects to the right APIs and launches a swarm of agent experts to generate related plays based on your prediction. The very first super shitty V0 MPV just has Polymarket/Kalshi bets, but I will be adding a more complex…
