Repl.it

Posted on September 21, 2019 by Paul Sutton

Repl.it

Repl.it is a web based development environment.  This gives you an instant IDE to develop your code and projects.   It has recently been updated so that it is multiplayer by default so you can collaborate in real time with fellow developers / hackers, which should help increase productivity and or learning / teaching potential of this platform.   Great work to the Development team.

Please see https://repl.it/ for more information and to sign up.
