While developing together on a web app using nodejs framework express, it's necessary to start a local web server to test the application.
It isn't always possible to open a specific port for external access to the web server.

Also for some other compile / run scenarios, it would be useful that the collaborators have a local copy of the files and can open a terminal in the given folder.

I think this could be similar to issue #41 but instead of a remote terminal connection to the host, everyone can have their own terminal.

@Fchen48 Regarding #41, if the host wanted to, they could share multiple terminals so that each guest would have their own to work with. Though, they’d still be operating on a shared file system.

If the concern is that the web app needs to be accessible to the guests, would the shared server feature be sufficient for your use case?

Nice, that's absolutely what I need for my purpose, so I can start the app and others can view it.

It would be a solid feature in combination with a shared terminal, so others can see errors and console output.

@Fchen48 Totally agreed! So it sounds like we can close this issue in favor of #41 and the existing “shared server” feature?

I’m going to close this issue as a duplicate, but please re-open if you think we’re not already capturing an important scenario between #41 and our “Shared Servers” feature. Thanks!
