Summary

Repl.it is introducing a new multiplayer feature that allows users to collaborate on coding projects in real-time, sharing the same editor, terminal, and system resources. This feature enables code-sharing, collaboration, and testing among friends, colleagues, or even students, making it easier to learn and teach programming concepts. The platform has already seen positive feedback from its community, with users exploring new use cases such as coding challenges, educational settings, and collaborative projects. With multiplayer, Repl.it aims to create a more engaging and creative community, potentially opening up opportunities for the feature to transcend its current platform and work with other IDEs and on different devices in the future.
