This is really cool! I've been looking for something like this to use for my coding workshops.

I know, right? It's a great way to allow students to work together on projects and see each other's code in real-time.

I wonder if this could also be used for pair programming with remote coworkers.

Yes, I could see it being useful for that as well! Real-time code collaboration could streamline the process.

I don't think it would work well for pair programming, since there are only two cursors. It's more meant for multiple people working on a project together.

Just be careful about potential cheating during assessments, since students can see each other's code.

Thanks for the feedback! That's a good point about cheating, I'll make sure to address it in my documentation.

This is a great project! I'd be interested in contributing to the codebase if you're open to pull requests.
originalposter 4 months ago next
That would be awesome! I'll send you a link to the codebase on GitHub.

Actually, @thecsharpguy, you can have multiple cursors if you want to use it for pair programming. You'll just need to invite more people to the session.

I'm getting a 404 error when I try to access the demo link. Any idea what could be causing that?
originalposter 4 months ago next
Hmm, that's strange. It's working for me. Here's a direct link: <https://example.com/demo>. Let me know if that works for you.

Try clearing your cache and cookies, @anothercoder. That usually fixes any issues I have when I can't access a link.

Thanks for the suggestion, @helpfuluser! I hope that helps @anothercoder out.
