Ship a collaborative editor
without building the backend
Accounts, API keys, and cloud document storage behind one simple API — with real-time collaboration and HTML / Markdown / JSON conversion from the editor runtime. Hosted for you, or run it on your own servers.
Free tier includes 3 documents, collaboration, and 200 conversions / month.
A complete backend, batteries included
Real-time collaboration
Multiplayer editing with live cursors and presence, powered by CRDTs in the editor runtime. Your plan includes collaboration-room allowances.
Cloud documents
Store and autosave documents through a REST API, with a Google-Docs-style workspace out of the box.
Format conversion
Convert between HTML, Markdown, and JSON with the same engine the editor uses on the client. Metered monthly per plan.
Accounts & API keys
Registration, sessions, per-tenant API keys, and plan-based quotas. Two auth planes: console and data.
Usage & quotas
Track documents, conversions, and collaboration rooms against plan limits, enforced automatically.
Self-host or hosted
Runs on SQL Server behind IIS in your own datacenter, or use the managed service. Same API either way.
Register, key, store — in a few lines
Authenticate with an API key and call the endpoints your editor needs. No SDK lock-in; it's plain HTTP + JSON.
