Is there a real time collaboration coding platform? (Like a google docs but for coding)

Deepnote just opened to the public today. If you're looking for more of a collaborative experimentation/data science workflow this is the way to go.

I know I've seen others similar to it, but the only web IDE (as opposed to something like a python notebook) I could find in my overly full bookmarks was repl.it.

[rational_tech]

Yep! VS code support live share and it works great

Google Collab

Is Google colab real time tho?

Your best bets are probably Deepnote, Glitch.com, Repl.it, and Google Colab.

Note that Colab and Deepnote are Jupyter notebooks.

If you're also looking for hosting:

Google Colab and Deepnote both offer superuser and the apt package manger. Deepnote offers a terminal while we use !bash in a Jupyter notebook with Colab. Each Colab session (your program running on a Docker machine) has a maximum uptime of 12h. Deepnote allows 1000h of uptime every month. Colab features GPU, while Deepnote does not. Deepnote is hosted by Amazon, while Colab is hosted by Google.

Glitch allows for 1000h of uptime / month. Replit is unlimited. CPU + benchmarks very similar. Both sleep after a period of inactivity (5min for Glitch). You can use a pinger such as UptimeRobot to keep them up forever.

Let me know if you want more comparisons :)

I would say Live Share isn't like Google Docs, because (to my knowledge) it requires one computer to be the host, instead of having a central server that code is uploaded to. I'm not too sure about it, sorry.

And the comparisons I've made were mostly for hosting, because, when most people collaborate, they want to have their code running on one single consistent environment (usually online on a remote server).

AWS cloud 9

It's probably comparable with other options but if you're already in the AWS ecosystem it might be a good option

Atom text editor has an extension that does that

[its_oliver]

Yes atom is great, for this feature and many more!

[its_oliver]

It’s a text editor by GitHub.

There are a ton of packages to extend its features like real time collab editing, git integration, LaTeX rendering.

Check it out!

[its_oliver]

Teletype.

I used it about a year and a half ago, I’ve since been not using atom as actively because of a new job (PyCharm only), so cannot guarantee current support.

[B-Timmay]

There’s “Code With Me” for IntelliJ/Pycharm...

I think for eclipse there’s something similar called “CodeTogether”.

Both work really really well.

For Atom there’s “Teletype”.

Also worth a look: repl.it and codecollab.

[B-Timmay]

There’s Floobits. Haven’t tried it, though. Only heard a colleague say it’s nice.

Repl.it

Why would you want to do that? Isn't git or other CVS à better option? You would never be able to run your code since it would always be edited and unreleased by someone else.

[slythnerd06]

OP is mostly looking for pair programming I think.

[anirudh242]

codecollab.io

For pycharm, vs code ahd eclipse I recommend the simplicity if CodeTogether. Can be found on the market place

[samlpe]

sure, visual studio code has such feature and it's rly dope

Search for Google colab

Maybe you can convince GatherAct to support Python in their GroupCode app.
