We're excited to hear you're going to recommend Hackpad for your team! I'd be happy to set you up with your own private Pro Site, three months of free service, as well as a private orientation and platform training. Email me at julia@hackpad.com to set up some time.

Julia here from Hackpad. Sorry to hear you're having performance issues in Safari and Firefox. We just launched a new feature that shows the live position of your active collaborators' cursors, and we're in the process of polishing it to ensure optimal performance across browsers. Thanks for your patience and stay tuned!

Thanks for writing back to us on here - good luck, looking forward to the improvements :)

My name is Julia and I'm Hackpad's Community and User Research Manager. Hackpad uses your Google contacts in one way only: to expedite the process of inviting collaborators to a Pad. As soon as you begin typing your contact's name, we suggest their email address. We take user privacy very seriously.

Perhaps it should be opt-out?
