Re: Say Hello to Realtime Collaboration
#42Is there anything similar to this that doesn't require registration?
I'd love to use this for teaching HTML but I can't ask my hundreds of teenage students to all create accounts...
Collaborative isn't a must, anything with syntax highlighting and real-time previews will do.

First of all, registering takes few seconds with twitter/github.
Secondly, it's not a must. Only you can register and share the collaboration URL with your 100s of students.
They can collaborate if they want to, or you can teach them in "Teacher Mode" - registration is not a must!
Hope that clarifies your doubts :)

Plunker has existed for a while now: http://plnkr.co and has its own little micro community. The editor (with real-time collaboration too) is at http://plnkr.co/edit/

#45Similar feature has been on Plunker (http://plnkr.co/edit/?p=streamer) for a while now though, perhaps, with less polish.

#46This needs to override JavaScript commands to keep it from malicious use. For example, to override alert() do this: (function() { var proxied = window.alert; window.alert = function() { // replacement code here // call original function: proxied.apply(this, arguments); }; })();
You don't do security by picking specific cases and guarding against them.
Either do it properly or not at all.

#47Random thought: Imagine if you could see comments on sites like HN being typed live (and the effects that would have on discussion).
You mean like on google wave?
