#12coder.com is a similar tool.

#13This is really cool. I dreamed of something like this back when I first started coding in college, but there wasn't really anything available that could do the job.
Well, you could always have multiple people connected to the same desktop with VNC. If you prefer terminals, tmux and screen support multiple simultaneous clients.
Obviously not quite as good for many reasons, but possible.

#14I just signed up because I wanted to be able to clone a git repo into a repl and pair program as needed. There doesn't appear to be an easy way to do this, I figured it would be the obvious feature especially with the GitHub login option.
Apparently it is do-able with a little effort, but man I'd love for this to be a standard feature. "Hey Jim, I just pushed to the funky-broken branch, can you take a look and help me solve it?"

#15Cool. Most likely it will only be used for technical interviews.

How so? There are a bunch of anecdotes in the post beyond interviews and if you go to our feedback boards you'll see that people are using it in schools and all sorts of different scenarios.

GitHub clone coming real soon. And a full-on GitHub integration will follow :)

Awesome, I can't wait!

#19This is really cool.
Bit of an aside: I used to take notes and share code using SubEthaEdit which pioneered this sort of collaborative editing over a decade ago. While it’s now pretty normal to see students taking collaborative notes in classes using Google Docs (and etherpad before it was acquired by Google to improve the experience in Docs), it was astonishing a decade ago. I recall spontaneously loading it up at an early Rails conference and taking notes with a bunch of strangers (it advertises open docs over the LAN). It was a noteworthy enough experience that one of the collaborators blogged about it. [1]
It was heartening to learn that SubEthaEdit was made free and open-sourced a week ago. [2]

#20This seems like it might be useful for hackathons, especially when working with team members who aren't well-versed in git or virtualenv.
