DevTogether: A Real-Time Collaborative Coding Platform
摘要
Real-time collaboration is essential for modern software development, enabling developers to work together seamlessly from different locations. This paper presents DevTogether, a collaborative coding platform that facilitates efficient teamwork through live code editing, customizable collaboration sessions, integrated chat, a collaborative drawing board for design prototyping, and real-time video meetings powered by WebRTC. The platform incorporates an intelligent code assistant using the Gemini API, along with an autosave mechanism to ensure workflow continuity. Built using the MERN stack, DevTogether emphasizes scalability, low latency, and responsive performance while addressing synchronization conflicts and communication challenges. Experimental evaluations and simulated performance metrics underscore its effectiveness compared to similar platforms.
