pair-programming's Introduction

Pair Programming

I created a pair programming app for school because screen sharing isn't pair programming, it's show and tell.

The project is still missing a few things I think are necessary for it to be a fully working app, but for the school project, and the time being, I think the functionality is completed. Still have to make it not quite so ugly.

A few things it still needs to be truly usable:

Voice communications
Notification of what line is being edited by other person
Text highlighting (click & drag)
Language specific highlighting (like highlightjs or prismjs)

MVP Implementation:

Create useable text editor. ✅
Create NodeJS web server. ✅
Set up WebSocket server. ✅
- WebSockets route data to correct session, not general broadcast. ✅
Timer to reset after updating stops for set period of time. ✅
- Allow other user to update text. ✅
- While not allowed to update, text highlighting prevented. ✅
- User shown appropriate message when they can and can't edit code. ✅
Set up database to track changes. ✅
- Read & pushes entire document to the Digital Ocean/MongoDB database. ✅
- Needs to recall entire documents by URL. ✅
Scope session to unique key from URL. ✅
Generate unique URL and store in database. ✅
Redirect root directory visitors to their specific URL. ✅
Make it attractive. ✅
