June 27, 2012 at 13:08Cloud9 IDE update - auto-completion, co-editing, offline mode and a virtual server with a console
Yesterday, the cloud IDE Cloud9 was updated. Several significant innovations have been made. The first one is collaborative editing. Now several people can work on the same code in real time. There is a built-in chat.
The second innovation is a full-fledged development server in the cloud. On it you can run scripts in Python and Ruby, and even compile programs in C. In the paid version ($ 12 per month), full shell access to the development server is available.
Third, offline mode. Works on Mac and Linux. Using a small application, you can synchronize files between the cloud and the local file system. So far, synchronization is working in experimental mode. You can synchronize up to 1000 files, in the future it is planned to increase this figure to 100,000.
The fourth is auto-completion. As you type, not only continuation options are displayed, but also documentation from NodeManual . While it works only for JavaScript, support for other languages will be added later.
In addition to these four major innovations, there are less significant ones. Updated interface, improved search, Goto File function, added the ability to install npm packages from the command line.
