FOSS collaborative text editor or documents?

Me and my friend just want something to brainstorm and write our ideas down on. Cryptpad is a decent I've considered, it has rich text editing which I don't need though it's nice.

https://www.collaboraoffice.com/ is LibreOffice in the cloud.

Onlyoffice can also be self hosted as a cloud office solution (can't remember if that one is 100% FOSS).

Onlyoffice

AGPL-3.0-only license, which from my limited knowledge means it's FOSS. Collabora looks great! Though seems extreme for our use case.

Joplin has a sharing feature that allows multiple user editing of an entire notebook.

The downside is that both individuals need to have Joplin installed and either have Joplin cloud accounts or a self-hosted installation of Joplin server, which in either case may be more effort than is worth it for you.

We are using Hedgedoc a lot, and we love it!
