About CoCalc

Teaching scientific software online. CoCalc is a virtual online computer lab: it takes away the pain of teaching scientific software. Every student works 100% online – inside their own, isolated workspace. Follow the progress of each student in real-time. At any time you can jump into a file of a student, right where they are working. Use TimeTravel to see each step a student took to get to the solution. Integrated chat rooms allows you to guide students directly where they work or discuss collected files with your teaching assistants. The project's Activity Log records exactly when and by whom a file was accessed. Forget any complicated software setup – everyone is able to start working in seconds! Since everyone works with exactly the same software stack, any inconsistencies between your and your students' environments are eliminated.

    "Collaborative Jupyter Notebooks, LaTeX, Linux Terminals and X11"

    Posted 2022-02-23

    Pros: I like having realtime collaboration for everything, including file editing, Jupyter notebooks, terminals, X11, etc. Fully usable in web browser.

    Cons: There are many exciting features that still haven't been implemented.

    Overall: I started using CoCalc in 2013 when I started writing CoCalc. All my development of CoCalc since then has been in CoCalc. I also use all the tools of CoCalc -- code editing, notebooks, Latex, Linux, X11, etc., in developing and maintaining CoCalc.

    "Great tool for data science projects"

    Posted 2021-05-10

    Pros: It's completely browser-based, so it can easy run on lower-end systems. Live-editing feature allows multiple users to work on the same code simultaneously without needing to refresh. Mobile version is also better than most other similar apps. It also allows installing of different python modules and packages, which makes it suitable for all kinds of projects.

    Cons: The interface is definitely not the best. It is also difficult to organize or browse through the notebooks when you have large pieces of code.

    Overall: CoCalc has some features like live-editing which makes it much more desirable than other similar software in the market. There are some limitations like lack of a user friendly interface, but it can be mostly overlooked.
