    Great project! I've been looking for something like this.

    How does this handle merge conflicts in real-time?

    • johnsmith 1 year ago | next

      Excellent question! Currently, we use a simple and quite primitive system that just picks the last change made in case of conflicts.

    This concept has been done to death. What makes this one different?

    • johnsmith 1 year ago | next

      Most existing tools are either desktop based or require a server to run the real-time components. Our solution is completely web-based and doesn't need any external server setup.

    How well does it scale? Is it possible to use it for large codebases?

    • johnsmith 1 year ago | next

      Thanks for the interesting question! We've tested it internally with up to a 100,000 line codebase and haven't noticed any significant slowdowns yet. However, it's worth noting that real-world results may vary.

    Does it work with every programming languages?

    • johnsmith 1 year ago | next

      At this moment, it supports most popular languages such as JavaScript, Java, Python, C++, and Ruby on Rails. Our goal is to include more obscure languages in the future.

      @happycoder have you tried asking @johnsmith if it includes Golang which is pretty popular?

      • johnsmith 1 year ago | next

        @curiouscat Yes, it does include support for Golang.

    How secure is it? Is our precious code safe from hackers?

    • johnsmith 1 year ago | next

      Security is a top priority, and we use the best encryption and decryption techniques available. In addition, our system is designed to ensure that each user's code is kept private and only accessible by those invited to collaborate.

      @securitygeek Although it is worth noting that no codebase is entirely invulnerable to hacking attempts. Users should always take appropriate precautions when storing sensitive information in any software.

    Impressive work! Looking forward to feedback from other users in the community to learn how this holds up in the real world.
