I wonder whether there's ever been much momentum within google to add programming language modes to google docs. It must have been suggested plenty of times internally. I mean, I hope not, for the sake of smaller companies like repl.it.

Way to go, repl.it team! Hard to believe 7 months have already gone by since I was working with you on this prototype! I took a peek at some of the websocket messages, and I'm glad to see its come a long way since I last saw it :-D This launch seems to perfectly cover the vision of collaborative coding that the repl.it community has been clamoring for!

Hey Eric! I won't forget our brainstorming session. Multiplayer covers the needs of repl cast, and man oh man we went through so many iterations!

I hope you like it and I hope it's helpful to you and to the people you teach. Let us know if you have feedback or ideas, I would love to hear them.

This is so good! Since codeshare turns too unstable and cloud9 it's a little cumbersome to use, having this alternative is amazing.

Absolutely, making it easy to share and use is a core part of our mission. We would love to see you around Repl.it and let us know if you have any feedback.

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.

i can confirm that we are excellent

It's funny that I had just used it in class 2 days ago. It's such a great way to communicate and work on a project without actively disrupting a lecture that is actually unrelated to the code we were writing.

How did you hear about Repl.it? how did you end up there?

Awesome! A few times I've had to code together with my girlfriend and went for repl.it as a reflex, checked if it supported this feature or not because it seemed like it could! (Great (free??) product!) We would then use cloud9, but now it seems like that won't be necessary!!
