What is Teletype?
Teletype is a real-time collaborative code and text editor. It enables developers to collaborate on code, markup, and prose in real-time in the same document. Rather than having team members pass code and documents back and forth, Teletype allows them to work together simultaneously.
Some key features of Teletype include:
- Real-time collaborative editing - Multiple cursors from different users appear in the shared document so you can see where others are editing or reading.
- Built-in voice chat - Speak to your collaborators while coding together.
- Share terminal sessions - Jointly run commands, debug, and edit configurations.
- Secured connections - All data shared in Teletype is end-to-end encrypted.
- Share local servers - Team members can access servers running on your machine for internal development purposes.
- Compatible with major code editors like Atom, Visual Studio Code, and more.
With its real-time collaboration capabilities, Teletype facilitates efficient pair/mob programming sessions, code reviews, remote assistance, and team education. It helps reduce stepping on toes andduplication of efforts that occur when working on shared documents.
