Hackpad

Hackpad is a web-based collaborative real-time text editor forked from Etherpad.[1]

Overview

[edit]

It was used as a company wiki by multiple prominent startups of the 2010s, including Airbnb, Stripe, and Upworthy.[2]

In April 2014, Hackpad was acquired by Dropbox.[3][4] In April 2015, it was announced that Hackpad would be released as open source[5] and source code was published on GitHub in August 2015,[6] under the Apache license 2.0.[7] On April 25, 2017, Dropbox announced that it would shut down on July 19, 2017, with users being permanently migrated to Dropbox Paper.[8]
