Ace vs Tandem: What are the differences?
What is Ace? Embeddable code editor written in JavaScript. Ace is a standalone code editor written in JavaScript. Our goal is to create a browser based editor that matches and extends the features, usability and performance of existing native editors such as TextMate, Vim or Eclipse. It can be easily embedded in any web page or JavaScript application.
What is Tandem? Decentralized, cross-editor, collaborative editing. Tandem is a decentralized, collaborative text-editing solution. Tandem works with native text editors, works across different editors, and uses peer-to-peer connections to facilitate communication. Tandem exists as a set of plugins for native text editors.
