RustPad 0.0.1

Collaborative Markdown editor with standalone notes and workspaces.

Development setup

./dev.sh

The script creates data/db and data/files, builds the project, and runs it with Cargo. When Cargo is unavailable, it uses docker compose up --build.

Functions (Workspaces)

• real-time collaborative editing over WebSocket,
• nickname remembered in localStorage,
• change authors in history,
• line numbering enabled by default with a persistent toggle,
• owner color next to each line,
• upload images and files to data/files/pads/<id>_<token>/ lub data/files/notes/<id>_<token>/,
• automatic Markdown link insertion after upload,
• Markdown i diagramy Mermaid,
• history with snippets, previews, and version restore.

Data

• SQLite: data/db/rustpad.db,
• files: data/files/pads/<id>_<token>/ i data/files/notes/<id>_<token>/; the public URL has the form /f/<token>/<nazwa>.

In Docker, both directories are located under /data.

Publishing a note as a page

Use the Page button in the editor. RustPad creates a permanent public /s/<token> address, copies it to the clipboard, and opens it in a new tab. The page displays the current note content and renders Markdown, images, links, and Mermaid. Publishing a protected note requires the password, but the published link itself is public.

Limit uploadu

The maximum size of a single file is configured with UPLOAD_MAX_SIZE_MB w .env, np. UPLOAD_MAX_SIZE_MB=50. The default is 20 MB. After changing it, restart the project with ./dev.sh.
