Share Servers and More
Now CodeTogether allows you to share your local web app under development with your peers, fully end-to-end secured. Flexible enough to handle WebSockets, database connections, or remote debug!
Refactor Rename
You can now remotely refactor rename symbols and classes leveraging host-side language intelligence with changes reflected across all participants.
Open Symbol and Open Type
