Built a real-time code collaboration tool to replace chaotic Zoom + VS Code calls

 If you've ever tried coding remotely with others, you probably know the pain:

  • Zoom + VS Code + screen share juggling
  • Slacking links, copying code snippets in chat
  • β€œWait, which file are you in?”
  • Laggy screen sharing ruining flow
  • Everyone stuck waiting for someone to fix their mic or screen

It was frustrating. So I built something better.


πŸ’‘ Introducing CodeConnecto

CodeConnecto is a real-time code collaboration platform that runs entirely in your browser β€” no setup, no installations.

Here’s what it brings to the table:

βœ… Live code editing with synced cursors

βœ… Built-in video/audio chat (up to 4 participants per call)

βœ… Shared terminal support

βœ… Live React & HTML preview out of the box

βœ… Room support for up to 15 collaborators

Perfect for:

  • Remote dev teams
  • Hackathons
  • Pair programming
  • Technical interviews
  • Open source collaborators
  • Bootcamp mentoring

Just share a link and start collaborating. It’s like VS Code + Zoom + Replit in one clean tab.


πŸ”§ Why I Built It

I kept seeing dev teamsβ€”especially small onesβ€”struggling to collaborate in real time without stitching together 4–5 tools. I wanted something browser-based, lightweight, and instantly accessible.

After diving into WebRTC, socket syncing, and dynamic rendering, I finally launched CodeConnecto β€” and it's now live in beta.


πŸ§ͺ Try It Free (During Beta)

All pro features are free during beta β€” no signups, no credit card.

πŸ”— Try it here: https://codeconnecto.com


Would love your thoughts, feedback, or even brutal critiques. If you’ve been in a similar dev-call mess, you’ll get why this exists.

Let’s fix remote coding β€” together.
