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.
What is Skedda?
Skedda builds a data layer under its booking product with occupancy analytics and multi-venue insights
Skedda is shipping a meaningful stream of analytics and booking-control features. Recent additions include Occupancy Insights (presence data converted into reporting), multi-venue utilization comparison via an Organization Hub, and more granular booking rules (day-specific approvals, hour-precision booking windows). The product is expanding from a scheduling tool to a space intelligence platform.

HedgeDoc

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.

Skedda builds a data layer under its booking product with occupancy analytics and multi-venue insights
◆ Current state
Skedda is shipping a meaningful stream of analytics and booking-control features. Recent additions include Occupancy Insights (presence data converted into reporting), multi-venue utilization comparison via an Organization Hub, and more granular booking rules (day-specific approvals, hour-precision booking windows). The product is expanding from a scheduling tool to a space intelligence platform.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is consistent: Skedda is layering analytics on top of its booking data to give facilities and HR teams actionable occupancy intelligence, not just a schedule. Each release adds either a new data surface or finer control over booking rules, suggesting the roadmap is building toward dynamic, policy-driven space allocation backed by real utilization data.
◆ Prediction
Skedda will likely add utilization-informed booking recommendations or automated space reallocation rules — the analytics foundation is now in place to support closing the loop from insight to action.
