  Teamtype uses "join codes" to establish initial connections. Currently, they look like "3-gadgetry-brackish" or "7-councilman-crowfoot". They use @magicwormhole's default PGP word list: https://gist.github.com/myersjustinc/2cd1feb72fad87c5c28ff8952d6e1469 But we'd like to have something more cheerful, like an adjective-noun scheme with simple words like "3-tired-bananas" or "5-huge-rabbits"...

  Last month's gathering for working on a "Collaborative Editing Protocol" for text editors was a lot of fun! Among others, people from @hedgedoc, https://www.open-collab.tools, and https://braid.org participated. We will do a second meeting tomorrow! You're invited to join and share your thoughts on interoperable collaborative editing. 🕖 2026-03-26, 19:00-21:00 UTC 🔗 https://meet.jit.si/collaborative-editing-protocol You can find an agenda (and our notes from...

  Hey all! This is the project formerly known as @ethersync, a system for collaborative editing of plaintext files! We decided to rename to "Teamtype" because of a couple of reasons: - More self-descriptive - Highlights the collaborative aspect - Easier to pronounce - Avoids the association with "Ethereum" - We got a nice domain :) - And it's already crowd-validated by y'all (was in the top 5 in our poll last year: https://pol.is/report/r74mttm...

  We released version 0.9.0 of Teamtype, continuing the versioning sequence from before. We also have features and small improvements coming along with this: - This version includes the `--sync-vcs` flag, an experiment for smooth Git integration. We invite you to try it and give us feedback! - When updating a number of files, we now trigger synchronization only for what really changed. - The follow-mode in Neovim was improved. Find the full release notes here: https://github.com/teamtype/teamtyp...

  We just released v0.9.1 of Teamtype! 🎉 Highlights: There's now a Homebrew package: `brew install teamtype` When you just quickly wanna share or join a directory, you can now use the --temporary-directory/-t flag. It will create a directory in `$HOME/.cache/teamtype/`, use it for collaboration, and clean it up afterwards. You can set a custom username that other people will see using the --user flag, or set user=<name> in .teamtype/config (per project). https://github.c...

  Imagine a protocol like #LSP, but for adding real-time collaboration to existing text editors. It would allow #Neovim to edit a #Hedgedoc, or peer-to-peer pair programming between #VSCode and #Emacs! We've come up with our own little protocol like that (for Teamtype), but we'd like to open up the discussion: That's why we're inviting everyone interested to an initial online gathering on Feb 26, 19:00 UTC, to gauge interest for working on a protocol like this together! https://...
