Live-Code-Collab

RealTime Code collaboration platform

Live Here : https://livecodecollab.herokuapp.com/

Collab with your friends, colleagues and code together in realtime!.

You can use it to conduct interviews, help your friend by debuging code together, explaining the working of code practically and much more. Basically it makes learning programming together much easy and fun!.

For implementing the concurrent edits and realtime colaboration I have used Operational Transformations and socket.io for chatting and syncing the code file.

.

For any suggesstions , issues and collaborations write to me at [email protected] . I will be more than happy to hear from you.
