Turn an existing markdown-and-diagram workspace into a realtime collaborative web app. CollabMD turns a local Markdown folder, Obsidian-style vault, or docs repo into a collaborative workspace you can open in the browser. Throughout this guide, vault simply means a regular folder on your computer that contains Markdown, diagram, and attachment files. - No migration: your files stay on disk - Your filesystem stays the source of truth: CollabMD does not move, rename, or delete files unless you explicitly do that in the app - Realtime editing with Yjs - External filesystem edits sync back into the app and connected browsers - Mermaid, PlantUML, Structurizr DSL, Excalidraw, and draw.io support - Source-anchored comments, chat, and presence - Works with plain folders, Obsidian-style vaults, and git-backed docs Requirements for the fastest first run: - Node.js 24 for npx and source installs - ripgrep for global text search ( rg ; included in the Docker image) - Homebrew only if you want the brew install path Quick start Open http://localhost:1234 . Expected startup output: Prefer Homebrew or source install? Jump to Installation options. See it in action See CollabMD editing the same workspace from two browsers in realtime: Prefer video? Open the WebM demo. Features - No migration — point CollabMD at an existing markdown folder, diagram workspace, Obsidian-style vault, ","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/andes90","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/andes90/collabmd/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
