#32For a more robust team snippet organizer: https://www.cacher.io

#33Made something similar to this a while ago (albeit, a lot simpler, replaces transfer.sh for me, and is self-hosted: https://github.com/antoniomika/Sharer). Mine is based on Firepad (https://firepad.io/) but both use Firebase as the underlying data source/RTDB.

#34Every company that has built this over the last 20 years has eventually shut down, and it's not like they didn't execute on the vision well; their products were incredibly good and mature. Do you see that the market has changed, or is there something you're doing that's different? I guess it's not immediately obvious to me why this and now.
That is a good point. This was mainly a personal challenge to build a side project that could be useful in the shortest time possible (end up building this in 2 day), so my focus is not to build the next big thing but just building somethig and having fun in the process ;)

#35I made a Vim plugin somewhat like this a while back

It’d be interesting to standardize the diff protocol for live collaboration tools. Everyone uses a slightly different mechanism.

#36For a low-tech solution, GNU Screen can also be used to share a terminal. e.g., http://wiki.networksecuritytoolkit.org/index.php/HowTo_Share...
As well as tmux! But neither offer multiple cursor support.

Cool project! Yes it would be very intresting to standardize it

Cool! i didn't know about firepad, yes i used Firebase too, it was the simplier solution to build something fast

#39Earlier quoted context omitted.
Simply beacuse not everybody uses VS Code ;) Of course if the whole team uses VS Code the Live share function is way more powerful of my simple tool and i recommend using that :)
Actually one service I do use a bit is https://godbolt.org/ a C++ compiler explorer. It would be nice if their editor could work collaboratively. You can share snippets there but can't edit them with another person.
Yes compling and building code in real time would be a very nice feature to add!

#40Floobits does real-time caret-sharing between common editors like Emacs/Vim/Intellij/Atom and maybe more. (I'm just a happy casual user)
Cool, didn't know about Floobits, i'm sure it is very more complete and polished than my simple side project ;)
