📖 What is Notivae? ​

Notivae is a self-hosted, real-time collaborative markdown editor built for students, researchers, and professionals who value structure, clarity, and ownership of their knowledge.

Inspired by Latin roots meaning “related to notes”, Notivae empowers users to write, collaborate, and organize their thoughts in a flexible but structured environment — all without giving up control to third-party platforms.

Whether you're managing study notes, drafting papers, planning projects, or building a long-term knowledge base, Notivae helps you stay productive and in control.

  • Real-time collaboration — CRDT-based multi-user editing with zero merge conflicts.
  • Hierarchical structure — Nest documents within collections and subfolders to mirror your mental model.
  • Snapshots for versioning — Create named snapshots of documents to mark stable revisions, much like commits in Git.
  • Inline comments — Add and resolve context-specific feedback for discussion and peer review.
  • Granular access control — Share documents via public links or restrict access with per-user permissions.
  • Offline support — Fully functional offline editing with automatic background sync when reconnected.
  • Authentication options — Sign in via email/password or OAuth providers like GitHub, GitLab, Discord, and any OIDC-compatible system.

  • Early-stage roadmap — Planned features include a user dashboard, export to PDF/Markdown, comment threads, mobile improvements, and API support.

✨ Built with ❤️ by and for students who believe that knowledge should be open, structured, and self-owned.
