DevDock Interactive Coding Collaboration

Job ID: 40232757

Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR

I’m building DevDock into a place where developers don’t just showcase projects—they actively collaborate in real time.
The core of this phase is a live coding environment that lets multiple users share and edit the same file, jump into true pair-programming sessions, and enjoy the creature comforts of modern editors such as syntax highlighting and auto-complete. Think Google Docs fluidity, but for code.

Here’s what I need delivered:
• A browser-based editor (Monaco, CodeMirror, or similar) wired for simultaneous multi-cursor editing.
• WebSocket or WebRTC infrastructure that keeps sessions in sync with minimal latency, even when several participants are connected.
• Built-in pair-programming mode—one user drives while another follows, with quick role-swap.
• Robust syntax support (at minimum JavaScript, Python, and Go) with auto-complete that pulls from language servers or LSP.
• Secure, friction-free authentication so developers can jump from a public showcase to a private coding room without signing in twice.
• Scalable backend (Node/Express, FastAPI, or equivalent) and a clean API for future discussion forums and project-management modules.
• A concise setup guide plus commented code so future contributors can extend the platform.

Acceptance criteria
1. Two browser tabs editing the same file show changes under 200 ms round-trip.
2. Pair-programming “driver/follower” mode switches roles without desync.
3. Syntax highlighting and auto-complete respond in under 100 ms for files up to 1,000 lines.
4. A new developer can clone, install, and launch the stack in under 10 minutes by following your README.

With these pieces in place DevDock will evolve from a static portfolio site into a living, breathing workspace for developers worldwide. If you can bring rock-solid real-time collaboration to life, let’s talk deliverables and milestones.
