You can now click the gear icon in the text editor and create a “collab link” for your generator. If you share that link with others, they’ll be able to edit/save the generator, and you’ll be able to see each others text cursors/carets.

You can disable/invalidate the link, and regenerate a new one.

Please let me know if there are any issues! I may be able to improve the performance/latency of it after some more work on the server.

    it requires the gen owner to save to apply any edits […] And the collab editor saving the gen will making a new copy.

    Hmm this definitely shouldn’t be the case. Anyone with the collab link should be able to save/apply the edits. Can you try again, and if you’re able to reproduce it, can you let me know the steps to take to replicate?

    If someone with the collab link saves it, it should just save it as if they were the gen owner (i.e. not make a new copy).

      Hello hello mystery solved. It’s that collab editor could not be logged in user, because they save the gen as new gen. Instead, a good collab editor should be logged out to save any edit, which isn’t mentioned??

        Ah thank you! Fixed. It shouldn’t save as new gen when you’re using a collab link anymore, even if you’re logged in and not the gen’s owner.
