Question

I would like to use an online tool to work remotely with people to do Javascript learning and testing exercises.

The solution could be a shared, public Javascript console.

Does such a thing exist? I have seen http://jsfiddle.net. This works ok, but we have to keep updating our URL every time the other person changes code so it is not real-time and requires an update step on both sides.

I think a low-feature real-time shared console would be a pretty trivial solution to build. I'm thinking of building it myself if it doesn't exist, but I wanted to check first and see if anyone has heard of something like this.

Was it helpful?

Solution 3

Almost two years later, a few great alternatives exist. The real-time enhancements to jsfiddle and plunkr are great, but for this use case, I haven't found any easier than Coderpad. It's marketed for doing code interviews and saves a history. Has JS/Coffeescript/Ruby/Java and more.

OTHER TIPS

Here are some links for you:

Hope you'll find something useful in there :)

This answer is 3 years late, but should help if you are still checking this post. JSFiddle now has collaboration mode - it allows you to voice chat and IM, while editing together. Just click the button in the header and set it up!
http://jsfiddle.net#collaborate

http://syncfiddle.net/ is exactly what you're looking for. Simple clean interface that syncs real-time, but also functions as well as any other site out there. But be careful to save your code, it seems to delete your code after enough inactivity.

Try

http://jsbin.com/

http://jsconsole.com/

JSBin is very close to what your looking for. provides HTML, CSS, JS and Console code practices.

JSConsole on the other hand is very simple only used for console coding ofcourse.
