This is amazing! I've always wanted a real-time collaborative code editor in the browser. The potential for remote pair programming and real-time code reviews is huge.

I agree, this is a game changer. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I seem to be having some issues with the editor freezing up on me. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm not sure why you are experiencing this, it must be on your end as I haven't had any issues. I will look into it though. Thanks for bringing it up.

I'm also experiencing the freezing issue, I think it might be related to the browser I'm using. I'll try a different browser and see if it helps.

I'm also experiencing the freezing issue. I'm using Chrome on a Mac. Has anyone found a solution to this issue?

I'm still looking into the freezing issue. It's possible that it's related to the load on the server, as we've been experiencing a high volume of traffic since the launch of the editor. I'll keep you all updated.

This is impressive work, I can see this being really useful for my engineers at SpaceX!

I'm curious, what technology did you use to create this? Is it built using websockets for the real-time capabilities?

Yes, it is built using websockets for real-time capabilities. I'm happy to share more information about the architecture if people are interested.

That would be great, I'm sure there are many people who would be interested in learning more about the technology stack used to build this.

Yes, I'm definitely interested in learning more about the technology stack used to build this. I'm experimenting with building a collaborative editor myself and could use some inspiration.

Same here, I'm also working on building a similar collaborative editor and would love to learn more about the technology stack used.

I'm trying to access the collaborative editor, but I'm getting a 404 error. Is the site down or is it just me?

I'm sorry to hear that, it looks like there's an issue with the DNS resolution for the site. I'll report it to our sysadmin team and get it fixed asap.

Thanks for the update. I'll try accessing the site again later on and see if the issue is resolved.
