I have used firepad as well as other online collaborative text editors extensively, and believe it to be the best one on the market. Go Firebase!

Isn’t Firebase an externally hosted database-as-a-service? Seems like a no-go for me in post-Snowden times.

Will this notepad ever evolve into an IDE (automated refactoring, static analysis, intellisense)?

This is why Atom is so great. New packages can be quickly hacked up using existing web libraries and technologies.

It depends what you're doing with it. If, for example, you're collaborating together on an open-source project then I don't see any problem.

I'd love an invite. How long has everyone waited to get one?

Kinda offtopic: I have three Atom invites in case anyone wants one just send me an email (in profile). Or if you want just ask one from http://twitter.com/mdo

Hi folks, sorry I'm already out of invites. Hope you guys enjoy using Atom!

I've never really done pair programming, but I feel like I'd benefit from it. My boss was looking over my shoulder the other day while I doing some Clojure, at which I'm still very new, and had some suggestions on my workflow. It's on my list of things to look into.

Anyone have any invites left, by chance? Email in my profile. :)

Is there any trick to getting a beta to try this out?

Join the ##atom-invitations channel on freenode and ask for an invite there. Plenty of folks sharing.
