RefMD

RefMD is a real-time Markdown collaboration platform that lets teams co-author documents, publish anonymous share links, sync changes to Git, and extend the workspace through Extism-powered ESM plugins.

Warning

RefMD is currently in beta. Content hosted on refmd.io may be updated or modified without prior notice. Document persistence is not guaranteed. Self-hosting is recommended for users who require stability or long-term data retention.

refmd-demo-video.1.mp4

Key Features

  • Real-time co-editing with presence indicators and a Monaco-based editor.
  • Anonymous sharing through one-off links and public publish flows.
  • Git Sync so documents stay in step with your repositories.
  • Plugin extensibility powered by the RefMD Plugin SDK, enabling community-built integrations that can be toggled per user.
  • Workspace management for organizing multiple members, with individually assignable permissions.
  • API tokens generated from the profile page for automations and external integrations.

Quick Start

  1. Pull the latest images and start the stack: 
    docker compose up -d
  2. Wait for the health checks to pass (docker compose ps) and open http://localhost:3000 for the web app (api is exposed on http://localhost:8888).
  3. Sign up for a new account (email + password) and start editing. Update JWT_SECRET / ENCRYPTION_KEY / PLUGIN_ASSET_SIGN_KEY in the compose file or an .env file before running in production.

For local development or when you need to rebuild the images, use docker compose -f deploy/dev/docker-compose.yaml up --build instead.

  • Frontend: React (Vite), TanStack Router/Query, Monaco editor, Tailwind CSS
  • Realtime: Yjs collaborative engine with WebSocket bridge
  • Plugins: RefMD Plugin SDK atop Extism runtimes with ESM-compatible plugin bundles

RefMD
RefMD is a real-time Markdown collaboration platform that lets teams co-author documents, publish anonymous share links, sync changes to Git, and extend the workspace through Extism-powered ESM plugins.
Warning
RefMD is currently in beta.
Content hosted on refmd.io may be updated or modified without prior notice.
Document persistence is not guaranteed.
Self-hosting is recommended for users who require stability or long-term data retention.

Key Features
  • Real-time co-editing with presence indicators and a Monaco-based editor.
  • Anonymous sharing through one-off links and public publish flows.
  • Git Sync so documents stay in step with your repositories.
  • Plugin extensibility powered by the RefMD Plugin SDK, enabling community-built integrations that can be toggled per user.
  • Workspace management for organizing multiple members, with individually assignable permissions.
  • API tokens generated from the profile page for automations and external integrations.
Quick Start
  1. Pull the latest images and start the stack:

    docker compose up -d
  2. Wait for the health checks to pass (docker compose ps) and open http://localhost:3000 for the web app (api is exposed on http://localhost:8888).
  3. Sign up for a new account (email + password) and start editing. Update JWT_SECRET / ENCRYPTION_KEY / PLUGIN_ASSET_SIGN_KEY in the compose file or an .env file before running in production.
For local development or when you need to rebuild the images, use docker compose -f deploy/dev/docker-compose.yaml up --build instead.
