Reverse engineered prompt

Build me a self hosted real time document editor where multiple people can type in the same page at once and see each other’s changes instantly.

I want every change to keep track of who made it, with color coded authors, full revision history, and a way to scrub back through earlier versions of the document. It should feel simple and fast, work in a browser, and be easy to run on my own server with no telemetry or surprise cloud services.

Please include an admin area, support for plugins, and a clean way to export documents and their history. If it makes sense, set it up so it can run locally with Docker too, and make sure the app starts on a normal port like 9001. Keep the design practical and focused on collaboration, not flashy extras.

If you need current docs or best practices for anything, look them up online and follow the project’s existing style.
