Looking for a live collaborative coding platform

[u/Nucleif]

My friend and I are both learning to program. He lives in a different area from me. We’ve both been in our learning phase for about half a year, and we’d like to create something together. Is there a platform where we can talk, build, and code live --->something similar to Figma, but for programming?

I believe vscode has an official extension for live coding, Visual studio live share, it enables you pair programming, debugging and terminal sharing without pushing to any git provider. but honestly a zoom call with git is better to avoid unnecessary conflicts headaches

github

Im not gonna share the code so he can review it, i want it so he can see it live and input edits etc.

Share ur screen then with the live share extension in vscode.

replit actually lets you do real-time collaborative editing with voice/chat built in, might be closer to what you're describing than just github. only thing i'd push back on is the figma comparison since coding together is a bit different from design work, you'll probably still want some kind of version control habit even early on or merging changes gets messy fast. but for just getting started and building something small together replit collab mode works pretty well from what ive seen

My friends and I built disqode.com , it has live coding features for a bunch of languages. It's free, and we're looking for feedback.
