PM on the Visual Studio Live Share team here. Thanks for posting! We're really excited to hear folks thoughts about this experience, how it can help improve their existing team collaboration workflows, and how we can continue to improve/learn. So please sign up and/or let us know what you think :) We've heard pretty loud and clear that developers want better collaboration tools, without needing to switch editors, wit…

Wow, this is awesome. While the use case outlined here is great I could probably use this as a remote editor. That is, I can have my dev environment running in the 'cloud' and still expect responsiveness from my editor!

Yes, I really want this too.

All the existing ways I know to do this (shared filesystem NFS/smb/sshfuse, or shared screen PCoIP/VNC/RDP, or remote file editors like BBEdit, TextMate+rmate, etc) are all terrible to use in practice.

Are you gonna have any sort of extensibility apis. Would love to build something like coderpad, which saves/plays history of edits.

I hope this is just a another open source vscode plugin so other developers can contribute. I don’t trust Microsoft enough to build a closed collaboration system. We all know how abusive they were with good ol’ MSN messenger.

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that the development teams behind the top two open source editors introduce support for collaborative editing on the dame day, apparently unaware that they were both working on the same thing, and there being no evidence of collaboration between the two?

since when is atom a top open source editor? by what metric? notability on HN?

Do Google searches qualify as a metric?

Please, please make a headless mode for this! My ideal use case would be to run this on a development VM and be able to connect to it with my VS Code and debug live on the VM. This would be a much better experience than rsync-ing your changes on every run.

This would be great for debugging apps on my Macbook or cloud MacOS machine, while still working on my main Windows machine!
