Did you build this from scratch or are you using some kind of library?

Ah, I've heard of CodeMirror before. It's pretty lightweight and easy to use.

Great job! I didn't know you could do this kind of thing with just JavaScript.

How did you approach the design of the UI for the editor? I think it's pretty intuitive and user-friendly.

Thanks! I tried to make it as simple and straightforward as possible, while still giving users the necessary controls to work collaboratively.

What kind of security measures have you put in place to prevent unauthorized access or data breaches?
jsmith 5 months ago next
All communication is done over HTTPS and the server behind the scenes is set up with proper security measures. I also plan on adding user authentication soon to prevent unauthorized access.
