⚡ Real-Time Collaboration

Write together. At the same time. Without the chaos.

Multiple people editing the same document, seeing each other's changes as they happen. No "someone else is editing this" lockouts. No merging conflicts afterwards. Just writing.

The old way of collaborative editing

You've done the dance. Copy the doc, make your edits, email it back. Or worse, open a Confluence page and get told someone else has it locked. By the time you merge changes, half of them are wrong.

❌ Without real-time editing

  • Document locking blocks other editors
  • Manual merge of competing changes
  • Version conflicts and lost edits
  • "Final_v3_REAL_final.docx" naming
  • No idea who changed what, or when

✔ With Rasepi

  • Everyone edits at once, live
  • See other people's cursors in real time
  • Changes merge automatically
  • Full version history with rollback
  • Clear audit trail of who did what

How real-time collaboration works

Built on SignalR for instant synchronization. Changes appear as you type.

1

Open any document

When you open a doc, Rasepi establishes a real-time connection. If someone else has the same doc open, you'll see their cursor immediately.

2

Edit alongside your team

Type, format, restructure. Everyone's changes show up for everyone else in real time. The editor handles conflict resolution automatically. No manual merging.

3

Block IDs keep translations aligned

Here's where Rasepi is different from Google Docs. Every paragraph has a unique block ID that persists through edits. This means collaborative changes in the original still map correctly to translated versions.

4

Version history tracks everything

Every change is logged. You can see who edited what, when they did it, and roll back to any previous version. Nothing gets lost.

Collaboration that understands translation

Most collaborative editors were built for single-language documents. They're great at syncing text between users, but they have no concept of block-level translation tracking.

Rasepi's editor is built on TipTap with custom extensions that understand the block system. When two people edit the same document at the same time, the block IDs and content hashes that power the translation system stay intact.

Real-time editing + translation tracking, working together.

A collaborative edit in English correctly triggers staleness detection in all translated versions. That's the tricky part most platforms skip: making real-time collaboration work together with translation tracking, not as separate features that ignore each other.

A practical example

Scenario: Your product team is updating the Q3 release notes together.
10:00 AM Product manager opens the doc and starts writing the overview section.
10:03 AM Two engineers join the same doc. One adds the API changes section, the other writes the bug fixes list. All three see each other's cursors.
10:15 AM Document is complete. The PM reviews the whole thing, marks it as reviewed. Freshness score: 100.
10:16 AM Translations kick in. Each block goes to DeepL. German and French versions are ready in seconds. All block IDs are intact.
Three people, one document, zero conflicts. Written, reviewed, and translated in under 20 minutes. No emails. No merging. No "let me know when you're done editing."

The details

✍️ Rich text editor

Built on TipTap (ProseMirror under the hood). Headings, lists, code blocks, tables, images. A proper editor, not a markdown textarea.

👥 Presence indicators

See who's currently viewing or editing a document. Coloured cursors show where each person is working.

🔌 Offline resilience

If your connection drops, your changes are preserved locally and synced back when you reconnect. No lost work.

🔒 Permission controls

Not everyone should be able to edit everything. Hub owners control who can view, edit, or manage each workspace.

Stop waiting for your turn to edit

Rasepi lets your whole team write together, in real time, with translation tracking that actually keeps up.
