Project Overview

Byte Syntax is a comprehensive real-time code collaboration platform designed for remote development teams. It features synchronized code editing with Monaco Editor (VS Code's editor), integrated video conferencing via WebRTC, shared terminal sessions, and collaborative debugging tools. Built with React and Node.js, the platform uses Socket.io for real-time synchronization and Docker containers for isolated code execution environments, enabling teams to code together seamlessly from anywhere.
