Yeah, appears to be dumb luck. You don't put together branding and a demo of real-time collaborative editing in a day.
My hack-a-thon team did it in 48 hours this weekend, lol. https://www.nodeknockout.com/entries/35-nodeist-colony
Lovely seeing Nathan and co ship this. Interestingly enough, this feature is the primary reason behind Atom itself existing. We saw the first internal demo of "Atom" (I believe it was "Thunderhorse" at the time) 6-7 years ago, and the main idea was real-time collaboration on code. That sorta took a backseat for awhile as GitHub started to recognize that a collaborative editor was pretty swell in its own right, but gl…
Is it only a coincidence that real-time collaboration is being announced both for Atom and VS Code ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15704376 ) at the same time?
Why is there breakneck competition here to offer the best free code editor?
Also be interesting if someone makes a teletype plugin for VSCode :)

What's wrong with Typescript? Also, why does it matter to you? Genuinely curious.
Curious, Why does it matter to you? On the Atom.io website https://atom.io/ it reads "A hackable text editor for the 21st Century". Well I can code in JavaScript 5 and 6. I love love it when a project sticks to web standard, and not have to worry about slangs I don't care about. > Typescript is great at catching bugs The same with JavaScript. Google Closure compiler and anyway most IDEs "understand" JavaScript too an…

It's like having Leonard Cohen transpiled to Justin Bieber. Now look at it from the Justin Bieber fans point of view, why would they listen to Leonard Cohen in order to hear Justin Bieber ? Even though research says Leonard Cohen makes better music! From Leonard Cohen fan's point of view it doesn't matter as they only hear Leonard Cohen, not Justin.

Wouldn't it be nice for VS Live Share and Teletype to be compatible on protocol-level?
Plain text CRDT and OT systems are often mutually adaptable. Even if they aren't directly compatible, with a bit of work it'll probably be possible to adapt from one realtime editing protocol to the other.
Of course, in the medium to long term having a standard for OT/CRDT operations that works in a lot of source code editors would be fantastic.

I just stopped sharing the document. I was just running it over crappy cafe wife for 2.5 hours, max ~20 people, always 5 to 10... performance seemed fantastic - didn't tax my lappy at all. Very impressed! [Re-shared it at 28e6c3b4-754c-44ef-9406-869604db9db5 - it would be good if you could keep a UUID somehow, but I guess that's unfeasible]
Someone please build a game around this premise. 15+ people having fun in a shared simulation is prime territory for game ideas.
Or do you mean targeting web games, much like was discussed in this HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13264952

This one single feature could potentially have the largest impact on my workflow in 2018. As much as I love async task management. Real-time collaboration with remote team members should be fascinating ;)
