Socrates is a realtime Markdown editor and previewer. Check out the demo!
Although it updates in real time, its not a perfect etherpad. It behaves best when edited by a single person at a time, but can then be shared with anyone you want.
Socrates is designed to work without a server. It can be hosted on Github, S3, DreamHost, etc.
Sign up for your own Firebase, and change to your account's url in socrates.js. Also, change the paths in index.html to reference your local files.
To run the local server for development:
