Why use a web interface when you can use Visual Studio Code with Live Share? https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2017/11/15/live-share

Came here to say this. Snipper does seem a little faster to set up at least, and might be useful for one-off scenarios.

I made a Vim plugin somewhat like this a while back https://github.com/bwasti/vim-multiuser It’d be interesting to standardize the diff protocol for live collaboration tools. Everyone uses a slightly different mechanism.

Are you using something other than CRDTs or Operational Transforms?

GDPR requires that everything not absolutely required for operating the website, must be opt-in.

I disagree that it's this cut and dry. Unless you are stuffing PII into the GA cookie, there's nothing personal there and therefore it doesn't require consent -- at the least, you're not going to get in trouble for skipping it. Furthermore, even if an anonymous user did give consent, then requested a deletion, the company would be hard pressed to verify that person's identity in order to scrub the anonymous data.

Every 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 ;)

Fair enough, I figured that might be the case. I didn't mean to criticize, I was just curious if there was actually some macro thing going on that I wasn't seeing.
