# is hackmd.io any good?

**hackmd** tries to be googledocs for markdown. It's not bad for collaborative document writing. There's a live preview for rendered text, and multiple people can edit the same document at the same time.

You can add in-line comments like this:

> [color=#d637d3] do we need to consider updog? [name=will] 

Or you can write comments directly onto the rendered text --- just highlight some text on the view pane and a comment box will appear.

You can ping team members with an `@` in-line or in comments: Hi :wave: @wjchulme 

Oh look, some _text_ __in__ ___markdown___.

There's a free version that allows 3 team members max for private documents, but unlimited contributors for public documents. Or a paid version ($5/month) where you can have as many team members as you like working together on private docs.
