Terminal-based team document collaboration

Build a tool that lets teams collaborate on documents directly from their terminal environments.

Why now

As more development work happens in terminals, teams need documentation tools that fit this workflow.

Who for
Terminal-centric engineering teams
Business model
Team subscriptions
Effort
A few months

Technical teams often live in terminals but then switch contexts to collaborate on docs. A terminal-native solution could boost productivity.

Create a CLI tool that allows real-time collaborative editing of markdown docs, with version control integration and code snippet support.

Developer teams would pay for reduced context switching between coding and documentation.

Start with basic collaborative markdown editing via SSH connections between team members.

Risk: May be too niche compared to established collaboration tools with broader features.
