It was so much fun to build this package. Atom is very modular, and any piece of functionality in the editor is open to being extended.<p>The documentation still has some ways to go (events aren't documented, for example), but I'm excited about the future of this editor!
Is it really "now with pair programming" when the software hasn't been released?<p>Wouldn't it be "Atom: Eventually with pair programming"?
Having painfully hacked together a few packages for ST (and TM) over the years, I'm impressed at how fast they pulled this together. If it's this easy to extend, Atom could have a very bright future.
Firebase and their data sync api's are really great. You could really build a lot of things if you're creative.<p>PS. It would be nice if anyone could send me an invitation. thanks!
I've never really done pair programming, but I feel like I'd benefit from it. My boss was looking over my shoulder the other day while I doing some Clojure, at which I'm still very new, and had some suggestions on my workflow. It's on my list of things to look into.<p>Anyone have any invites left, by chance? Email in my profile. :)
Very cool! This has been, in my experience, a factor limiting the use of GUI editors in places with a heavy emphasis on remote pairing. Of course not everyone does this, but if you work someplace that does, this is a big selling point. I'm excited about this!
Been doing this since a long time ;) <a href="http://scummos.blogspot.in/2013/08/gsoc-collaborative-text-editing-in-kate.html" rel="nofollow">http://scummos.blogspot.in/2013/08/gsoc-collaborative-text-e...</a>
It's promising to see that features like this can be hacked into the editor in a very short amount of time.<p>I would love to find out what emacs-like features I could implement myself. Anyone that can help me with an invite? (email in my profile)
Do we really need random Atom extensions posted <i>two</i> hours after the first commit? Is this the shortest time from initial commit (like, it looks like this is the real first commit instead of a squash-like commit for release)?
