In their own words
CodeCollab
CodeCollab is a browser-based shared workspace for pair programming, technical interviews, teaching, and team brainstorming. Rooms provide real-time multi-cursor editing with shared cursors, selections, and keystrokes. The editor offers syntax highlighting, bracket matching, and language-aware indentation for 15 languages. A shared canvas can sit beside the code for architecture sketches, flows, and other ideas. Users can share secrets protected at rest with AES-256-GCM, expiry timers, and instant revocation. Connections use HTTPS and negotiate TLS 1.3 with compatible browsers, but secrets are not end-to-end encrypted because CodeCollab holds the key. Code is not compiled or executed on the service. Unclaimed rooms are deleted after seven days; claimed rooms remain until deletion or account closure. The Free plan costs nothing, while Pro costs $49 a month. CodeCollab is operated by Zeppl Studios in Lisbon.
