Say Hello to Realtime Collaboration
- genu1 14y agoWOW, that is tremendously effed.
- init0 14y agoDeserves an up-vote!
- daeken 14y agoWhen you comment on a story, ask yourself this question: does my comment add value to the thread? If the answer isn't a definite "yes", consider modifying it until it does, or scrap it all together. It'll help keep the value of the conversation high.
- petercooper 14y agoRandom thought: Imagine if you could see comments on sites like HN being typed live (and the effects that would have on discussion).
- emp_ 14y agoReminds of ICQ group chats back in the day. You're absolu You're absolutely wro (backspaces start) You I respectfully disagree Fun days. EDIT: better dummy conversation
- StavrosK 14y agoOh man, that was a fantastic feature! That takes me back...
- cmelbye 14y agoEssentially, Google Wave.
- tiglionabbit 14y agoYou mean like on google wave?
- steve8708 14y agoMy god, visit the site, it is a shit show, but its kinda fun Some highlights: window.top.location.href = 'http://www.troll.com http://www.troll.com; function troll() { alert('troll'); troll(); } troll();
- steve8708 14y agoAnd the ascii art and canvas effects people are busting out are pretty hilarious
- hbz 14y agoNSFW http://i.imgur.com/RV7na.png http://i.imgur.com/RV7na.png I was just observing, didn't know I was stumbling on a live canvas when I clicked the link :)
- emp_ 14y agoI was actually testing if they had the iframes coming from a cross domain, which were so our ability to explode the thing is much smaller. Poor are those who have no way to block alerts tho.
- SwearWord 14y agoThis is hilarious.
- hbz 14y agoIt would probably be a huge security risk just to visit the demo page if people weren't constantly pasting over each other with "MY PENIS" in HTML/CSS/JS edit2- No proof of any security risks, not like I tried any
- Bockit 14y agoI don't recommend anyone visiting the demo page at work, it's not just the word "penis" getting spammed.
- martindale 14y agoThis is Internet gold.
- ReidZB 14y agoWarning: graphic/gore images (not to mention irritating JavaScript alerts, etc) on the demo page. I would highly recommend avoiding it.
- lukeholder 14y agoWARNING... currently NSFW
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- reubenpressman 14y agoJust like http://dump.fm http://dump.fm only for hackers! Could be pretty awesome!!!
- devinrhode2 14y agoLooks like you're being hacked really bad. I got redirected to Google! It was fun to watch though! Add <iframe sandbox="allow-forms"> and you'll disable javascript. Good fast fix for now, later you'll want sandbox="allow-scripts allow-forms allow-same-origin" The 4th allowed value for html5 iframe sandbox is allow-top-navigation, which allows a script to do window.top.location.href = 'http://google.com http://google.com and redirect someone like me.

- madrona 14y agoPass the eye bleach. I don't know what STD that was, but my god, you people...
- TeMPOraL 14y agoAfter that it's more like PTSD.
- devinrhode2 14y agoIt's an absolute shame what's happening on your demo right now. This is bad.
- jsilence 14y agoToo sad your site is beeing vandalized. Please resubmit when the trolls have moved on.
- jvdh 14y agoReally, Comic Sans to promote your website authoring tool, really?
- jvm 14y agoYou didn't get the memo? Comic Sans is ironically cool now. It was the memo with subject line: geocities is the new Tumblr.
- hkmurakami 14y agoI was reading a 2chan thread earlier today about video game related sites with absurd amounts of detailed research about the game (ROM level information, random number table information, etc), and a surprising number of them were on geocities.
- itsbits 14y agoAwesome and creative but how is it useful???...people already going crazy out there..
- binarydreams 14y agoIf you actually create your own item and share with friends over the internet, there won't be such trolls available then. :P
- binarydreams 14y agoI think I'll do HTML/CSS/JS sessions (classes?) on this platform. If you wanna get in touch email me hello[at]cssdeck.com :)
- gradys 14y agoI would recommend doing something about the demo page. It is going to give people a bad first impression of the tool even if it is awesome. Maybe either turn off collaboration (which would greatly detract from the value of the demo, I know), or limit things like linking to outside images, Javascript alerts, and more malicious things. With how often everything gets overwritten, it's not as though anyone is going to be able to do anything complex that requires any of those things anyway.
- return13 14y agoNot really a new invention - see 'etherpad-lite' (also opensource) Just with a little work, it would do the same... But nice to see how all the trolls play... Maybe this is a real good idea... A contest battelfield for trolls... (as a game)
- mforsberg 14y agoReally nice; I think it will be great for collaborations although the troll environment was quite hectic.
- Imagenuity 14y agoThis needs to override JavaScript commands to keep it from malicious use. For example, to override alert() do this: (function() { var proxied = window.alert; window.alert = function() { // replacement code here // call original function: proxied.apply(this, arguments); }; })();
- faul_sname 14y agoWhen I redefined alert to return false, it crashed Chrome pretty bad (note: I am not the owner). If someone really feels like policing it, they can delete the iframe element (in FF, chrome, or opera) and just have access to the editor panes (which means no alerts, redirects, or other nastiness). I'm sure someone can figure out how to write a javascript snippet that will post some text that has been cleaned of all instances of "window.location", "alert", and probably "while". (I would do it myself, but it's 1am here).
- Imagenuity 14y agoI put in return false; and it did nothing (using Chrome v22.0.1229.56 beta-m). You wouldn't want to return false anyways, alert is not defined as returning a value (see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/window.alert https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/window.alert) If you want to see what arguments are being passed, add a console.dir(arguments); to the code.
- mibbitier 14y agoYou don't do security by picking specific cases and guarding against them. Either do it properly or not at all.
- egeozcan 14y agoGeek trolls! The most dangerous kind! This became so hilarious I couldn't keep myself from laughing out loud in my workplace.
- phreeza 14y agoWarning, people are posting NSFW and potentially malicious stuff in the colaborative area linked to from the post. As usual, as soon as HNers are no longer on HN proper, the inner troll comes out.
- Johnyma22 14y agoEnjoy Etherpad at http://beta.etherpad.org http://beta.etherpad.org and download it at http://etherpad.org http://etherpad.org :)
- chase46 14y agoIs there anything similar to this that doesn't require registration? I'd love to use this for teaching HTML but I can't ask my hundreds of teenage students to all create accounts... Collaborative isn't a must, anything with syntax highlighting and real-time previews will do.
- binarydreams 14y agoFirst of all, registering takes few seconds with twitter/github. Secondly, it's not a must. Only you can register and share the collaboration URL with your 100s of students. They can collaborate if they want to, or you can teach them in "Teacher Mode" - registration is not a must! Hope that clarifies your doubts :)
- gbadman 14y agoPlunker has existed for a while now: http://plnkr.co http://plnkr.co and has its own little micro community. The editor (with real-time collaboration too) is at http://plnkr.co/edit/ http://plnkr.co/edit/
- gbadman 14y agoSimilar feature has been on Plunker (http://plnkr.co/edit/?p=streamer http://plnkr.co/edit/?p=streamer) for a while now though, perhaps, with less polish.
