# Floobits

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/floobits/  
**APIs profiled:** 0

Floobits was a real-time collaborative code editing service — "remote collaboration tools for dev teams, work together, apart." It shipped editor plugins for Sublime Text, Vim, Neovim, Emacs, Atom, and the IntelliJ family of IDEs, plus flootty, a shared-terminal tool for pair terminal sessions. Plugins connected editors to shared Floobits workspaces where multiple developers edited the same files and terminals in real time over a synchronizing backend (built on a diff-match-patch model). Surfaced as an a16z portfolio company and added to the API Evangelist network. As of 2026-07-19 the hosted service at floobits.com no longer resolves in DNS and the GitHub org has had no activity since December 2022; the open-source editor plugins and the flootty PyPI package remain the durable public surface.
