Cryptpad:

  • Full-on google docs / office365 / libreoffice type replacement with collaboration.
  • E2EE
  • The complexity means it doesn't work well on mobile, takes a while to load on a slow connection, more frequent bugs. (3.5 MiB page transfer)
  • Self-hosting is complicated.

Etherpad:

  • A competent collaborative rich-text editor. Doesn't do spreadsheets or presentations or [...].
  • Not E2EE (you need to trust that the server a bit more).
  • Lightweight, works on slower connections, works alright on mobile. (1.7 MiB page transfer)
  • Self-hosting quite simple.

PrivateBin:

  • Super-simple plain-text/markdown pastebin. No editing possible once saved.
  • E2EE
  • Very small. Works fine on slow connections and mobile. (0.2 MiB page transfer)
  • Self-hosting very simple.

To be clear though: by E2EE here I mean browser-side encryption with zero-knowledge on the server side.

Etherpad is still encrypted in transit with https; only the server can snoop.

Cryptpad and other web-based E2EE services can still be completely compromised server-side by serving malicious code to the browser, and practically the user would never know.

What do you want this for? If the idea isn't multi-user collaboration, why not just use local tools instead of a web app?

Multi-user collaboration, and trying to provide a whole Google suite replacement, but my use is multi-user collaboration, & sharing it without downloading (same manner you share Google docs)
