What do you want this for? If the idea isn't multi-user collaboration, why not just use local tools instead of a web app?

Cryptpad:

Full-on google docs / office365 / libreoffice type replacement with collaboration.
E2EE
The complexity means it doesn't work well on mobile, takes a while to load on a slow connection, more frequent bugs. (3.5 MiB page transfer)
Self-hosting is complicated.

Etherpad:

A competent collaborative rich-text editor. Doesn't do spreadsheets or presentations or [...].
Not E2EE (you need to trust that the server a bit more).
Lightweight, works on slower connections, works alright on mobile. (1.7 MiB page transfer)
Self-hosting quite simple.

PrivateBin:

Super-simple plain-text/markdown pastebin. No editing possible once saved.
E2EE
Very small. Works fine on slow connections and mobile. (0.2 MiB page transfer)
Self-hosting very simple.
