Tabula - Share Markdown folders with people and agents easily
by•
Open a Markdown workspace, create an encrypted room link, and let people or AI agents edit the same files. No signup, no shared AI account, and the result stays portable Markdown.

Hey Product Hunt,
I built Tabula because AI tools have made it easy to create Markdown files, but surprisingly difficult to hand a multi-file workspace to another person or the AI they use.
The usual options are Git, file copies, moving everything into a document platform, or sharing the same AI workspace.
Tabula tests a simpler model:
- A Markdown workspace becomes an encrypted room link
- People join from the browser without signing up
- Agents join through MCP
- Everyone works on the same files
- The result remains portable Markdown
The fastest way to try it is with two browser windows:
1. Create or open a Markdown file
2. Start a session from Share
3. Open the link in another window
4. Make an edit from the second window
If you try it, please tell me what you attempted to share, who or which agent you shared it with, and where the workflow became unclear.

Love how the encrypted room links let you skip the whole signup dance and just jump straight into editing together. Keeping it as plain Markdown at the end is a really thoughtful touch too.

@hamdisdan2s3o Thank you — that combination is exactly what I’m testing: collaboration that starts as quickly as sharing a link, without giving up ownership of the underlying Markdown files.
If you try it with another person or an agent, I’d love to hear where the handoff feels unclear.

Love the no-signup encrypted collab idea, would use it tomorrow. One thing that would seal the deal for me: a small comment sidebar that lets teammates leave inline notes attached to specific lines without modifying the markdown itself. Even a simple "@line 42" thread model would make reviews so much smoother.

@kardelen452289 Hey! You can already do this in Tabula: select text in a document and add a comment from the Comments sidebar. Comments stay attached to the document context without being written into the Markdown file.
But the fact that this wasn’t visible from the product or launch page is useful feedback. I need to make the review workflow much easier to discover. Thank you.

A live diff view between collaborators would be really helpful, so you can see exactly what changed and who changed it before accepting edits. Right now I imagine it gets tricky to track changes in real time across multiple people and AI agents working on the same files.

@sadk375060 That’s a good point, especially once an AI agent is editing alongside people!
Tabula currently merges live edits immediately, so there isn’t an accept/reject step yet. I’m trying to learn whether the right model is accepting every edit, or reviewing a session-level diff that shows what each participant changed.
Which would be more useful in your workflow: per-edit approval, or a review summary before you export or end the session?

The no-signup room link is such a nice touch, dragged a few teammates into a doc in under a minute. Editing shared Markdown with an AI agent alongside felt surprisingly natural, and I love that it stays portable.
