A Real-time Challenge

I decided to challenge myself over the weekend by making a real-time HTML, CSS & JS editor using NodeJS & Socket.IO. 

I’ve managed to get it to the point where you can open your web app on multiple devices and watch it update in real-time whenever the source is saved via the editor. 

There’s still more functionality that I’d like to add, such as a working file system, hard-saves (saving is done via Redis at the minute), exporting of the finished app and shortcuts to include popular files.
