Since it was released (three years ago), GitHub's Atom Text Editor was a terrific open source programmer for developers along with other popular cross-platform applications like Sublime Text.
If not useste already, you might be more interested now that it supports collaboration with other apps and other developers in real time.
The new Atom text editor, Teletype, lets you collaborate with other developers in a project to write or edit the code with individual cursors and zero latency.
GitHub states that you'll be able to use your own key bindings, packages, and themes while working with Teletype, so you won't feel like you're using someone else's IDE. THE company it also states that your data is transferred over encrypted peer-to-peer connections, so you don't have to worry about anyone watching what you write in your code.
The app is still in version beta, so it doesn't include some related features that could make collaboration easier, like a chat window so you can discuss changes and additions with team you in the same application.
Hopefully this feature will be added in the future.
With the introduction of Teletype and the integration into Git and GitHub, the Atom text editor is a great choice for developers of various disciplines.
You can try it instantly downloading the installer from here, along with the Teletype package from this page.
