Detailed Comparison

Ace
Ace
Rustpad
Rustpad

Ace is a standalone code editor written in JavaScript. Our goal is to create a browser based editor that matches and extends the features, usability and performance of existing native editors such as TextMate, Vim or Eclipse. It can be easily embedded in any web page or JavaScript application.

It is an efficient and minimal open-source collaborative text editor based on the operational transformation algorithm. It lets users collaborate in real-time while writing code in their browser. It is completely self-hosted and fits in a tiny Docker image, no database required.
