HI, All

Is there any service of ... online multi-user code editor built-in into some IDE?
Only Google docs ?

But i mean "realtime Github": several users login, choose a code example project, the IDE downloads it and allow editing, but other users who open it - also can run and help to edit the shared module.

And the shared module is finished by 10-20 coders in an hour.
Or some document is created realtime, for example, the WiKi (with minimal viable code snippets for each component) for ABMaterial framework, thanks to @alwaysbusy, who is always busy to make such doc alone.

If all who used or is using ABMaterial can share the minimal comment to each non-commented component (that he used successfully) - the full shared doc would be created in a day or 2.

All JetBrain IDE's like PyCharm and IntelliJ have this option of coding together. It is a paid feature.
 
The B4X IDE does not have Git hooked up. You can connect a project from the console by multiple users. But you'd probably have to manually refresh the content of the project from the Git server if someone changed something. I also don't know if the B4X IDE would automatically recognize that the code in the files had changed and would automatically refresh the code windows in the IDE.
I guess that's going to be a hard thing to do. I don't know of a Git tool that would monitor changes in the project in real time and, if there were, would refresh the project locally from the server.
 
it would be nice if was a B4X IDE supports multi-users editing like new Microsoft Offices...

but ofcourse this will need a lot of job...

Compiling/Running the same time result at different pcs don't think that is a problem if the code is ok...

i think it may be just so:
1) server has several versions of the shared file from several users
2) server sends the notifications that there are new versions
3) if user agreed to compare - server shows the new versions like TotalCommander compares 2 files.
4) and user may be agree to merge the new version with his own, or replace, or discard.

Writing a shared document is to be good: each user can update the chapter that he used well and if has an example or description to share...
 
Wait... but it's .., Wiki engine...
