# About
|
|
Etherpad lite is a really-real time collaborative editor spawned from the Hell fire of Etherpad.
|
|
We're reusing the well tested Etherpad easysync library to make it really realtime. Etherpad Lite
|
|
is based on node.js what makes it much leigther and more stable than the original Etherpad. Our hope
|
|
is that this will encourage more users to install a realtime collaborative editor. A smaller and well
|
|
documented codebase makes it easier for developers to improve the code
|
|
|
|
