Curious if this supports multiple-cursors (as in multiple cursors per user through ctrl/cmd+d, etc)? If so that'd be awesome!
It does indeed.
Code together in real time with Teletype for Atom

Re: Code together in real time with Teletype for Atom
#22Really gave atom a hard try. Back to notepad after a few months. The add-ons are the only advantage, but are grossly overshadowed by the resource consumption this behemoth requires.
Yeah, someone complains about the resource usage in every Atom post. I feel likes it's a rehash of emacs vs vi debate from 30 years ago. Emacs needed many megabytes more than vi so people wouldn't use it. As time goes on the resource usage becomes less of a problem. My 4 year old laptop has 16GB of RAM and I don't really worry about it. I'll get 32GB or 64GB in my next computer. I never liked quibbling over memory. M…
> My time is much more important to me and I want the best tools.
That's what I think, and the reason I use SublimeText.

#23I wish there was something like this for Intellij.
Floobits works with Intellij as well as Neovim, Emacs, Sublime, and Atom. I'd like to explore whether Teletype can be used across editors in a similar manner.
It's almost certainly _possible_. See under "Editor-agnostic client library", and https://github.com/atom/teletype-client

#24Is there anything like this for sublime?
Floobits is all you need!

#26Is there anything like this for sublime?
Apparently the protocol can be implemented by any editor, so hopefully we'll end up in a glorious future where this works in lots of browsers (including VSCode, who just announced their own version of this)
Edit: can in the future, not now. So we'll see

> My 4 year old laptop has 16GB of RAM Even now the highest end laptops have same 16GB RAM. Sad state of affairs :(
For certain definitions of 'high-end', maybe. You've been able to configure workstation-class laptops with 64 gb for a few years now.
And most mid- high-end laptops will happily accept 32GB, again going back a few years.
(Broadwell removed the density limitation that made 16GB DIMMs a no-go; anything that takes DDR4 should support 16GB SODIMMs, excepting the very low end Atom, Celeron etc.)

#28See also Floobits, which is a fully-realized, production ready service that allows collaborative real-time editing of your editors entire workspace. Floobits has plugins for all major editors, including Vim and IntelliJ, as well as Google Hangouts. https://floobits.com/ Disclosure: I used Floobits a few times and think it’s awesome 10/10
Except, it's not Vim, it's Neovim.

#29“participants all keep their own custom key bindings, packages, and themes.”
what happens when two different people editing the same document have two different settings for # spaces per tab character? whose takes precedence? (Or would there be a possibility of inconsistent spacing depending on who is adding a tab?)
Re: Code together in real time with Teletype for Atom
#30Is 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?
The fact that VS Code's version isn't ready yet, and Atom's is makes me think that Microsoft wanted to respond to Atom's announcement. But I honestly have no idea if that's the case. Just pure speculation. Edit: Atom's announcement was yesterday. Microsoft's was today. That further fuels my speculative hunch. :)
Microsoft employee here. Today is also the Connect conference. My colleagues who worked on live share knew all along that Connect is their deadline.
Which makes me curious, does Github know what Microsoft is going to announce at their conference, or did Microsoft knew what Github is building?
