AtomPair is an Atom editor package that enables real-time remote pair programming by synchronizing editor tabs and syntax highlighting between collaborators via Pusher. It supports inviting partners through session IDs shared via clipboard, HipChat, or Slack.

Use cases

• pair program remotely with a colleague in Atom
• share multiple editor tabs with a collaborator in real time
• invite teammates to a coding session over Slack or HipChat
• collaborate on existing code with synchronized syntax highlighting
• run a group coding session with up to 20 collaborators

When to choose

• you and your pair partner both use the Atom editor
• you want lightweight real-time code sharing without a full IDE
• your team already uses Slack or HipChat for invitations

When to avoid

• you use VS Code, JetBrains, or another editor instead of Atom
• you need a maintained tool - the project has not been updated since 2017 and Atom itself is retired
• you cannot or do not want to create a Pusher account with client-events enabled
