The problem CodeConnect solves

Collaborating on coding projects in real-time can be a challenge, especially when team members are working remotely or in different time zones. Current solutions such as sharing code through email, chat or version control systems can be time-consuming and error-prone. Moreover, these methods may not allow for real-time collaboration, making it difficult to quickly iterate on ideas and solve coding problems as a team.

Challenges I ran into

Integrating Socket IO - Socket.IO applications are complex, especially when integrating with other tools and technologies like the code editor, the chat feature, or version control systems.
User experience - Providing a smooth and intuitive user experience that allows users to easily collaborate on coding projects in real-time can be a challenge and requires careful design and testing.
Library for compiling code - Finding library for compiling code in various languages was difficult as many libraries were depreceated.
