About Etherpad
Etherpad is an open-source, real-time collaborative document editor designed for self-hosting and data sovereignty. It provides a platform where every keystroke is attributed to its author through color-coding, and a timeslider feature allows users to review the entire revision history character by character. The software supports over 100 languages and is used by governments, schools, and newsrooms. Its extensible architecture includes over 200 plugins for features like video chat, tables, and AI integration, which run on infrastructure controlled by the user.
