My weekend project - a collaborative 🎵 repl using @EtherpadOrg. yap.wags.fm. Sorta like Google Docs/Figma, but for music 🎧. You can make a page just by visiting the site (check out the video). Have fun!

Security advisory for the critical security vulnerability fixed in v1.8.16: github.com/ether/etherpad…

@magnetic_pajama Ah, so services such as pad.riseup.net and various commercial entities offer pads with persistence or you can deploy your own in the cloud using most popular SaaS platforms. We intentionally don't provide commercial services as we're a community not a company :)

@EtherpadOrg I opened some pads, they're good. But can't compete with google docs yet because data is deleted after 24 hours.

@EtherpadOrg I can't install it, are you working on a version for non-programmers?

New release: Practically zero no features but lots of stability and security patches so go get it! - etherpad.org #noBreakingChanges #maybe #noWarranty #whyAreTennisPlayersDisapearing #bestMatesATennisCoach #tooBadForHim

@DogGeneticsLLC Afaik we don't have decent test coverage in for that specific thing, any idea how we'd go about it? We have no intention of breaking it tho but we always want to improve!

1 shy of 200 plugins! That's nuts. We're really happy everyone is modifying the editor experience so much, it really reminds us just how diverse use cases can be and the importance of freedom of choice / open source. How should we celebrate hitting 200?

Thanks to all the awesome plugin developers! 40k+ plugin downloads last month!

Etherpad 1.8.12 released: 1 security issue, some bugfixes and a few bits of polish :) Lots happening on the repo but again this is a stability / polish release without any major bells and whistles to shout about :) <#3therpad github.com/ether/etherpad…

@Katiamnav ;( Is it still broken or okay now? github.com/ether/etherpad…

@EtherpadOrg I can’t download it for windows, it displays error

Release announcement: Etherpad 1.8.8 has quietly landed on your doorstep - github.com/ether/etherpad… #padding #padlad #padington

We're making a change to the plugin framework where any plugin that hasn't had an update in 5+ years is not visible to users through the admin UI. #sorrynotsorry

Tell us you work on collaborative editors without telling us you work on collaborative editors. #limitedAudience #operationallyTransforms

Big code base clean up has nearly landed. Release hopefully within a few weeks. Things are moving quicker than usual due to our awesome community helping to promote the project :) Thanks <3

Prometheus support now available in Etherpad via the ep_prometheus and ep_performance_test_hooks plugins :) Get Graphing folks! #beautifulData #dataviz #prometheus #graphana #DataScience

Wildcard cert live on etherpad.com - so far we just have video.etherpad.com up, what would you want to see live next?

Sorry, we were debugging on a production instance today on video.etherpad.com which is why things were unstable. We were going to say it was a DDoS but that's so 2010...

Wow what a week - just so you know, you guys are doing great! 👏👍 Sorry we have been quiet on twitter for a while, we've been helping schools setup remote learning. To try & make your life easier we have six ideas for things to include in an AUP for sending devices home.🧑‍💻 👇

If you aren't familiar with Etherpad 1.8.7 yet then that's cool, it's just 1.8.6 with bugfixes, optimizations and a huge code clean up. Stay safe folks, and please don't commit crimes. Basic human decency goes a long way.
