I was looking for something like this. I used to use Replit to teach code (even integrated it into discussion sections when I was a TA) but they absolutely destroyed the product with AI vibecoding integrations over the past year.
Replit gets a total fail for me because the AI integration took the homework assignments I was giving my students, read the instructions to them, and then did their homework for them! There wasn't a way to turn it off when I talked to support, so I just had to tell my students "pretend you didn't see that". We moved off of Replit asap, after that.
Organizer of Python Atlanta here. This looks really nice. I’ll share it in our meetup next week.
If you want to reach out and maybe give me some pointers feel free to reach out at hello@pyatl.dev
On Firefox, when I run code that uses input, I get:
> RuntimeError: The service worker for reading input isn't working. Try closing all this site's tabs, then reopening. If that doesn't work, try using a different browser.
Maybe I'm wrong on this one, but I saw like 20 AI-made apps that started asking for a subscription after early adopters started actually using the app.

I'm glad you liked it! I initially designed it as an alternative to replit, taking an anti-AI approach instead of their AI-first approach

Pretty cool! Always struck me as odd that the IDE has largely remained single-player for 40 years.

Is this a Firefox problem?
Sorry for the late inquiry but yes, PyTogether only works (at least as intended) on chromium-based browsers as far as I can tell.
It looks great, but does it have a debugger?
Stepping through loops and visualizing in real time how the variables change is indispensable for teaching how programming in general works.
This is something I am also going to add for sure. I'm looking for a nice open-source python debugger I can easily integrate
This is awesome! I'm also working on something like real-time collaboration on codebases, but nothing as freehand as this, really inspiring!
It would be great to be able to share an attached terminal as well, as a lot of action happens there when programming.
This is something I have on my roadmap!
This looks interesting. I have one question, though: Why not VSCode Live Share?
Just use Zed

For education, having something browser-based is extremely helpful. As is having a much more minimalist interface.
AI slop cashgrab
what's the evidence that this was done with AI?
its free wdym

Well, leave those comments on those. Why attack this project when you have no insight if this is the case here?
And what's wrong with that? The rent's not paying itself.
Hard to do that when everything (as in backend and frontend) is open source.
