Dev Meet

A coding interview platform that ships an IDE, so you never have to code in a Google Doc again.

Tired of interviewing candidates over Zoom/Google Meet with nowhere to write code? Dev Meet runs your entire technical interview in one room: face-to-face video, a real-time shared Monaco editor, and a built-in compiler — without leaving the tab.

Live Application

• Instant rooms — create a meet with one click and share a simple invite link; each room is capped at 2 members.
• Live shared editor — a full Monaco (VS Code) editor where both sides type together in real time, with remote cursors, selections, and persisted code per language using Yjs.
• Built-in compiler — run your code against stdin and see stdout/stderr/compilation output, all inside the interview (Judge0 backend).
• Multiple languages — C++, C, Java, JavaScript, and Python with syntax highlighting, switchable per room.
• Peer-to-peer video — WebRTC audio/video call over simple-peer, with mic/camera toggles, live preview before you join, and remote mic/camera indicators.
• Interview ergonomics — resizable video/editor splits, editor light/dark themes, adjustable font size, Ctrl/Cmd + Enter to run, and an in-app first-run guide.

1. Click Start a Meeting Now and enter your name.
2. Copy the invite link and share it — the other person opens it and joins the same room.
3. Accept the invitation to join the call.
4. Start coding. Voila 🎉

• Framework: Next.js 16 + React 19 + TypeScript, served by a custom Node server (tsx server.ts)
• Editor: Monaco Editor + @hocuspocus/provider + y-monaco for shared editing
• Realtime sync: Yjs over Hocuspocus (WebSocket /collab)
• Signaling & events: Socket.IO
• Video/audio: WebRTC via simple-peer
• Compiler: Judge0 CE via the RapidAPI endpoint (/api/compile)
• UI: Tailwind CSS 4, shadcn/ui, motion, sonner

• Node.js 20+ (22 recommended)
• pnpm 10+

pnpm install

Copy the environment template and add your Judge0/RapidAPI key (needed for the Run button):

cp .env.example .env.local

The dev/start scripts boot the custom server that wires up Next.js, Socket.IO, and the Hocuspocus collaboration WebSocket, so always use those for a functional app. Serving :3000 (override with PORT/HOST).

The repo includes a Render blueprint — free web service, Node 22, pnpm install && pnpm build, then pnpm start with a /api/health health check. The live app runs at https://devmeet.faisalsaifi.com.
