Collaborative editing #135

Closed nunziotocci closed 1 year ago

nunziotocci commented 6 years ago

It could be useful to have multiple people editing the same file.

Thoughts?

My first thought is it isn't that difficult to implement. My second is it is most certainly of dubious use.

I've only ever done this a few times and it never really mattered. Sharing screens with VNC, Hangouts or other tools works much better for virtually all things in our business.

Agreed.

Another problem is that if two people are editing, you have to wait for the other guy to finish before you can test.

Thinking about this, I think the real reason to implement the API isn't necessarily for the collaboration, but it would make file editing requests much smaller and would reduce network load.

Also, I think the only real use would be for writing copy on the same page. But, on the other hand I don't expect many people would be writing copy in our file editor.

This doesn't seem necessary. If you need to work with someone offsite a VNC is a great option.
