Introduction:

This is a try to organize the amazing Space_Editor project

The organisation of the project is totally based on the SQLite example by Rodolfo Campos

Space is a real-time collaborative code editor!

Space is built on NodeJS and uses NowJS under the hood to support websockets for realtime collaboration. The editor is built on ACE (the same front-end used in Cloud9 IDE) and uses Google's diff-match-patch to send edits information to contributors as changes are made to the code.

Installation

You must have Node installed.

Just enter in the project folder and run:

npm install

Running

For now the team name is fixed, so you have to have the ./workspace/team folder in your project

Just enter in the project folder and run:

node app

Then access your browser at http://localhost:3149

Editing

I added the configuration file for the excellent Sublime Text. To use, just open the file space.sublime-project with Sublime Text
