CryptPad is a **zero knowledge** realtime collaborative editor.
Encryption carried out in your web browser protects the data from the server, the cloud
and the NSA. This project uses the [CKEditor] Visual Editor and the [ChainPad] realtime
engine. The secret key is stored in the URL [fragment identifier] which is never sent to
the server but is available to javascript so by sharing the URL, you give authorization
to others who want to participate.

To install:

    git clone <this repo>
    npm install
    npm install -g bower ## if necessary
    bower install
    ## edit server.js to modify configuration (use your own mongodb instance)
    node ./server.js
