Lovely seeing Nathan and co ship this.
Interestingly enough, this feature is the primary reason behind Atom itself existing. We saw the first internal demo of "Atom" (I believe it was "Thunderhorse" at the time) 6-7 years ago, and the main idea was real-time collaboration on code. That sorta took a backseat for awhile as GitHub started to recognize that a collaborative editor was pretty swell in its own right, but glad to see that it's finally all come full circle.
- indescions_2017 9y agoThis one single feature could potentially have the largest impact on my workflow in 2018. As much as I love async task management. Real-time collaboration with remote team members should be fascinating ;)
- chiefalchemist 9y agoI guess the next step would be something along the lines of Google Wave where you could playback the "conversations" and see the learning process develop.
- mandelliant 9y agoDamn I miss Google Wave
- mnx 9y agoIt was opensourced, but apparently nobody wanted to maintain it for free. https://incubator.apache.org/wave https://incubator.apache.org/wave
- alalonde 9y agoWe actually implemented exactly this in our demo: https://demo.convergence.io/code-editor/ https://demo.convergence.io/code-editor/ Even as the author, I think web-based IDEs have pretty limited utility, but it is a great showcase for the power of our API. We (my co-founder and I) built this in about 10 days.
