Firepad vs Karma: What are the differences?
Developers describe Firepad as "An open-source, real-time, collaborative code and text editing library built on Firebase". An open source collaborative code and text editor. Share documents and see changes occur in real-time. On the other hand, Karma is detailed as "Spectacular Test Runner for JavaScript". Karma is not a testing framework, nor an assertion library. Karma just launches a HTTP server, and generates the test runner HTML file you probably already know from your favourite testing framework. So for testing purposes you can use pretty much anything you like.
Firepad belongs to "Collaborative Text Editor" category of the tech stack, while Karma can be primarily classified under "Browser Testing".
Firepad and Karma are both open source tools. Karma with 10.7K GitHub stars and 1.61K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Firepad with 3.2K GitHub stars and 743 GitHub forks.
