Lovely seeing Nathan and co ship this.

Interestingly enough, this feature is the primary reason behind Atom itself existing. We saw the first internal demo of "Atom" (I believe it was "Thunderhorse" at the time) 6-7 years ago, and the main idea was real-time collaboration on code. That sorta took a backseat for awhile as GitHub started to recognize that a collaborative editor was pretty swell in its own right, but glad to see that it's finally all come full circle.

This one single feature could potentially have the largest impact on my workflow in 2018. As much as I love async task management. Real-time collaboration with remote team members should be fascinating ;)

I guess the next step would be something along the lines of Google Wave where you could playback the "conversations" and see the learning process develop.

We actually implemented exactly this in our demo: https://demo.convergence.io/code-editor/

Even as the author, I think web-based IDEs have pretty limited utility, but it is a great showcase for the power of our API. We (my co-founder and I) built this in about 10 days.

Damn I miss Google Wave

It was opensourced, but apparently nobody wanted to maintain it for free. https://incubator.apache.org/wave
