Screen and tmux both have shared sessions, and even though screen isn't really under active development anymore it is solid.
Does this offer anything that other more widely used pieces of software don't already provide (and provide well)?
Edit: Ahhh, I didn't realize from the git page that it would let you use different editors on different ends of the shared session.
- ggreer 13y agoScreen and tmux are great for sharing terminals, but they're not the best for editor collaboration. For one, all users sharing the terminal have to have the same buffer open, scrolled to the same position. Also, they have to use the same editor with the same configuration. If two people prefer different editors or different sets of Vim plugins, they have to compromise.
- kansface 13y agoWe also have a shared shell which uses Floobits permissions called flootty: https://github.com/Floobits/flootty https://github.com/Floobits/flootty. Flootty is also accessible from our web based editor which has an embedded pty. Its actually possible to run a vim inside flootty that itself is running floobits.
