paired-sockets

Watch Me Code!

Live code sharing!

Scrapped together with Flask, Socket.io, and Bulma styles.

Don't expect things to be considered properly, it fundamentally works and that's all it needs to do.

A live version can be seen at paired.gwillz.com.

But please don't DDoS me. There's no diffing for the code/data, so I can imagine traffic being quite ugly if it picked up.

Known bugs/todos

• a new watcher will see nothing until the host writes new code
  • will require a server-side store of code/text
  • or a 'request' packet whenever a watcher joins to trigger the host to send
  • #ugh
• text highlighting
  • will likely require ace or codemirror. yay.
  • dynamic loading of language styles or just everything at once?
  • #bloat
• cannot resume/restore code if session is closed
  • potentially solved if storing code server-side
  • #featurecreep
• only send diffs of code
  • would also require server-side code or a 'request' packet
  • #prematureoptimization
