The Document Arms Race Intensifies | May 2021
If you're like me and uninterested in being locked into using yet another proprietary data silo you might be interested in open-source alternatives like CryptPad[1], Outline[2] and TiddlyWiki[3]. That said these alternatives don't have the whole featureset of every tool in the OP, so I periodically research alternatives too.

Maybe it's not easy to have client side encryption, but it seems CryptPad has it:

Its full copyleft AGPL which could be an issue for someone trying to use it in a commercial application.

But for other uses, it looks absolutely incredible.

Real-time, collaborative Markdown editor with end-to-end encryption | Feb 2017
It uses the same base as Cryptpad [0] (Chainpad) which is created by the same people that created Chainpad.

It has more functions like a presentation mode [1]. The edit resolution is done client side and the "server" only relays encrypted messages. Alternative transports are in works, including WebRTC. Everything is open source on [2].

Show HN: sdees – serverless decentralized editing of encrypted stuff | Sep 2016
Friend of mine is working on Cryptpad [1] which is encrypted collaborative web editor. There are multiple connection modes, most common websockets relay server but he is also working on WebRTC transport.

Everything is modular so you can create encrypted applications as you see fit by changing transport, storage, crypto and frontend.See for example [3].

In case of using a relay server the content is encrypted so the server doesn't know what the content is.

The source is open on AGPL license.
