Why

I was fed up of not finding a tool to my liking to manage CTFs for teams playing so I wrote one. You should probably not use it 😋 I wrote it quickly because I really couldn't find something that fitted my needs. Some other projects of the sort of collaboration during CTFs:

• CTFPad: nice project but NodeJS, so yeah. Also etherpad-lite doesn't support MarkDown easily. I like the name, so I took it shamelessly
• rizzoma: a horrible outdated collaborative platform, poorly suited for CTFs.

I discovered HedgeDoc (aka. old CodiMD), an awesome platform, 100% Markdown, easily integrable. This project is just an eye-candy around using HedgeDoc as a central platform when doing a challenge collaboratively.

It's a toy project, so there's a lot of TODOs, features will be added (slowly).
