Abstract: CodeAlong is a web-based collaborative code editor designed to support real-time programming and teamwork among developers, students, and researchers. The system enables multiple users to write, edit, and review source code simultaneously within a shared workspace. By integrating live synchronization, communication tools, and execution support, CodeAlong reduces delays caused by traditional file sharing and version conflicts. The platform promotes effective collaboration by allowing users to monitor changes instantly, exchange ideas, and resolve errors collectively. In addition, it provides user authentication, role management, and secure data handling to ensure reliability and privacy. The proposed system aims to enhance productivity, improve learning experiences, and support distributed software development. Experimental evaluation indicates that CodeAlong improves coordination and reduces development time when compared to conventional standalone editors. Therefore, the platform serves as a practical solution for modern collaborative programming and research activities.
