This is super-cool tool for performing tech interviews. I've used a coderpad.io in the past (as interviewer) but they have way too high prices for the amount of interviews I've performed.

So when I've run out of free pads I've switched to repl.it + screen sharing, but it's not the same as simultaneous editing.

Really happy with it.

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. We've been using it for interviews for more than a month and we've been really happy with it.

It's worth noting that excellent folks at Coderpad have a lot of features that complements the editor too -- I've used it while at Facebook -- so we're not trying to compete with that.

Cool to see these pair programming products coming out recently. Party Reply is very cool as well.

What's Party Reply? Is that another tool of Repl.it in autocorrect? Googled but didn't find much

I think it's a reference to multi-player clojure REPL in Atom. I haven't looked too deeply but from what I can gather it uses Atom Teletype for the editing and they figured out how to connect to the same Clojure REPL server.

It's pretty cool and it addresses a need that we've found missing as well -- live code editing is half the feature, what's also important, is that the REPL state be synced. It's a coincidence that we both picked the same name!
