Edits arrive as they are typed
Every keystroke writes to Firebase Realtime Database and lands in every open browser within a fraction of a second. Nobody refreshes, nobody re-pastes.
Paste it once.
Your team edits it live.
Name a snippet, send the link, watch edits land as they happen. No account, no install.

Built on the stack your team already runs.
What it does
Built for the code that moves between people.
A link is the whole invite
Anonymous sign-in happens on open, so a collaborator goes from link to cursor without an account.
Pin what should outlive the day
Unpinned snippets clear themselves after 36 hours. Pin the ones worth keeping.
Lock a snippet once it is settled
A PIN keeps a finished snippet from drifting while people are still reading it.
Leave with the file
Download any snippet in the extension that matches its language, straight into the repo.
Three moves, start to finish.
Name it
Open the editor and give the snippet a name. It exists the moment you hit create, with no project or repo to set up first.
Send it
Drop the link in the review thread. Whoever opens it is signed in anonymously and looking at your buffer.
Work it
Both of you type into the same document. When the fix is right, download it or pin it and move on.
Questions people
actually ask.
DevCodeHub is a free realtime code exchange for development teams. You create a named snippet, share its link, and everyone with the link edits the same buffer live. It is built for the small pieces of code that move between people during review and debugging, not for full projects.
DevCodeHub was designed and built by Shams Ali Shaikh, a full stack developer working in Next.js, React and Firebase. He built it after getting tired of pasting the same snippet into three chat windows during code review. You can find his work at https://github.com/dev-shamsali.
No. DevCodeHub signs you in anonymously the moment you open the editor, so you can create and share a snippet without registering, confirming an email or installing anything.
Every snippet is a record in Firebase Realtime Database. When you type, the change is written to that record and pushed to every other connected browser within a fraction of a second, so all collaborators see the same content without refreshing.
The editor uses CodeMirror 6 with JavaScript and TypeScript syntax highlighting, and snippets can be downloaded in the file extension that matches their language. Any plain text pastes and shares correctly regardless of language.
Yes. DevCodeHub is free to use and there is no paid tier, seat count or usage limit.
Unpinned snippets are cleared automatically 36 hours after their last edit, which keeps the workspace from filling up with dead pastes. Pin a snippet to keep it indefinitely.

LinkedInThe next snippet does not need a paste.
Open the editor, name a buffer and send the link. That is the entire setup.
