LibrePaper – A free platform to read, write, and review together

LibrePaper launched as a free, open-source platform for reading, writing and reviewing documents together, with live preview for Markdown, HTML, Typst and LaTeX, computational notebooks via Quarto and Calepin, and BibTeX and Zotero bibliography support. The public host at librepaper.org caps storage at 50 MB per user and 30 uploads per hour, while self-hosting requires one binary and a Postgres DB. LibrePaper supports AI agents through MCP with reader, commenter or editor permissions, and states it does not need users' keys or tokens.
