Yes, I'm using CodiMD quite frequently, but don't have a definite opinion on
it yet. It is great for its core functions, but I am missing functionalities
that would allow long-term management of individual notes. Whether the pros
and cons are relevant for you will depend quite a bit on your use case:
+ Works great as collaborative online pad (tested with 4-6 users)
+ Good support for "extended" MarkDown, so you never need any of the formating
buttons
+ Allows display of only the rendered output, therefore "read only" users
never have to see the MarkDown
+ Basic access control, differentiating owner, registered users and world
+ Tagging of notes
- No possibility for fine-grained access control, e.g., specific users
- User interface beyond the editor is very limited, e.g., no possibility to
list all notes owned by the user (this is different from the history which
does exist).
- Only a rudimentary API
Hope that helps!
Best, Christian
