Questions, answered

Frequently asked

What exactly does the cloud handle?

Document storage (CRUD + metrics), HTML ⇄ Markdown ⇄ JSON conversion using the editor's own engine, and real-time collaboration rooms over WebSocket. There's also a full in-browser editor that autosaves to the cloud.

Can I self-host instead?

Yes. The service is dependency-free Node and ships as a container — run the identical API on your own infrastructure whenever you want. No lock-in.

How does collaboration work?

Each document gets a realtime room; the editor's Yjs CRDT updates are relayed to everyone connected. Presence and live cursors come built in.

Is my data isolated?

Every API key is its own tenant namespace — documents, usage, and collaboration rooms are scoped per account.

What happens when I hit a plan limit?

You get a clear 402 with the limit and current usage. Upgrade in one click, or it resets next month for monthly limits.
