What is Document360?
Document360 ships collaborative editing and API v3 with OAuth 2.0 in back-to-back releases.
Document360 has shipped two major capability expansions in consecutive August releases: v12.8.2 introduced API v3 with OAuth 2.0 authentication and scoped API keys (the product's largest API overhaul to date), and v12.8.4 added real-time collaborative editing allowing multiple contributors to work on the same article simultaneously. The surrounding releases improved the AI assistant analytics layer (Eddy AI unanswered query tracking) and redesigned the navigation and publishing UX.
What is HedgeDoc?
A collaborative markdown editor on a security-driven maintenance cadence.
HedgeDoc's 1.x line ships every one to two months and is dominated by security response. Recent releases carry seven advisories between them — HTML injection via an email localpart, YAML frontmatter denial of service, CSRF in the Gist export, a rate-limit bypass through CF-Connecting-IP, a permission-value validation gap, missing upload security headers, and script execution in uploaded SVGs. Around those sit configuration knobs for the external-link warning, webp uploads, and rate limits.

Document360
7.5COLLAB
Document360 ships collaborative editing and API v3 with OAuth 2.0 in back-to-back releases.
◆ Current state
Document360 has shipped two major capability expansions in consecutive August releases: v12.8.2 introduced API v3 with OAuth 2.0 authentication and scoped API keys (the product's largest API overhaul to date), and v12.8.4 added real-time collaborative editing allowing multiple contributors to work on the same article simultaneously. The surrounding releases improved the AI assistant analytics layer (Eddy AI unanswered query tracking) and redesigned the navigation and publishing UX.
◆ Where it's heading
Document360 is clearly targeting enterprise knowledge base teams: OAuth 2.0 on the API enables secure SSO-gated integrations, collaborative editing removes a key friction point for team-based documentation, and unanswered query analytics gives content managers data to prioritize gaps. The product is closing the gap to Confluence and Notion on collaboration and integration depth.
◆ Prediction
Expect role-based collaborative editing permissions (view-only, comment, edit) and API v3 expansion to cover content lifecycle endpoints — the OAuth infrastructure is the foundation for third-party workflow integrations.
HedgeDoc
2.5COLLAB
A collaborative markdown editor on a security-driven maintenance cadence.
◆ Current state
HedgeDoc's 1.x line ships every one to two months and is dominated by security response. Recent releases carry seven advisories between them — HTML injection via an email localpart, YAML frontmatter denial of service, CSRF in the Gist export, a rate-limit bypass through CF-Connecting-IP, a permission-value validation gap, missing upload security headers, and script execution in uploaded SVGs. Around those sit configuration knobs for the external-link warning, webp uploads, and rate limits.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run in parallel. The perimeter work reduces attack surface and maintenance burden at once: old API endpoints and unused config are deleted, Node 18 support is dropped now that its security window has closed, and features added in one release tend to gain an off switch in the next. The second thread is realtime correctness — concurrent-editing data loss, connections dropped mid-handshake, operations discarded during revision gap recovery — which is the only work aimed at the core editing experience rather than its edges.
◆ Prediction
Expect the 1.x line to continue as security and correctness maintenance, with more legacy endpoints and configuration removed rather than new editing features added.
