Realistic multi-user coding session with live cursor tracking & syntax highlighting
Core Architecture
Desktop IDE Power, 100% Native in Your Browser
Compiler
Multi-Language Cloud Code Runner
Compile and execute code across 50+ languages in isolated Linux sandboxes. Returns exit codes, memory consumption, execution timings, and stdout/stderr.
Multiplayer Engine
Sub-10ms CRDT Delta Sync
Mathematical consistency model (Yjs) enables instantaneous peer synchronization. Multiple programmers can edit the exact same line simultaneously with zero cursor drift.
Voice Mesh
Integrated WebRTC P2P Voice Rooms
Speak directly with collaborators inside the editor. No need to context switch between external video apps or laggy screenshare streams.

Knowledge Base
Online Code Editor FAQs
Does this online editor support code autocompletion and IntelliSense?
Yes. Because OutSync is built on Microsoft Monaco (the core open-source engine of VS Code), it features native language server capabilities, bracket auto-closing, keyword autocompletion, and intelligent indentation.
Can I change the editor theme to Light or Dark mode?
Yes. OutSync provides a 1-click theme toggle between VS Code Dark (vs-dark) and VS Code Light themes, persisting your preference across rooms via local storage.
How does code execution work without installing local compilers?
When you click "Run Code", the payload is sent via secure TLS to an isolated container runner. The code executes in an ephemeral sandbox with strict cgroup limits (CPU/RAM) and streams the execution output back in real time.
Can I open multiple files or tabs in a coding room?
OutSync supports live tabbed navigation so collaborators can switch between script files, test cases, and configuration files within the same shared room.
