Abstract

This paper outlines a logical prototype for a websocket-dependent, collaborative, online coding platform. It aims to improve seamless code updation, sharing, and collaborating for small to medium development projects—the lack of which leads to massive coding redundancy due to multiple members working on the same project. The paper lists out the foundational features, along with the technologies that can be utilized to realize the objective of creating a platform that allows easier team-based coding. The final proposed platform will allow developers to create and share compiled code across project members without the need of an execution environment, URL sharing or version control, and will implement code-focused ideas like real-time collaboration, multiple code support, online compilation, and administrator room system. It proposes the use of newer, emerging technologies, and stacks like websockets and real-time databases, while also explaining the reason behind the use of these technologies.
