It's a small world. :)

As a long time user of hackpad, it's nothing more than a glorified document editor, and very simple at that, with meagre "shared editing" capabilities that we've had for decades, even in desktop apps. (The main reason I stuck with it is it's faster to load than Google Docs, and I only care about basic editing).
