Every time I see one of these "code together in real time" announcements I remember SubEthaEdit, which did this flawlessly 14 years ago, and released the collab part as a library that other apps can use: Coda uses (or at least used, I haven't used Coda in years) it and is/was compatible for sharing.

Didn't subethaedit use operational transforms that were very easy to desync?

I remember giving up on the program because if there was any instability in the network at all it desynched in surprising ways.


Oh yes, I remember we were using this among attendees at WWDC to write full notes of the talks! We didn't know each other but spread the connection parameters between neighbors.


Too bad it had a terrible name...


Why do you think it’s bad?
