TogetherJS is a free, open source Javascript library that adds collaboration tools to your website.

Let's say I'm going to a party with my friend Ian,

and we need to coordinate which items to get for the party.

We are using this grocery to-do list app that I made.

And I mark that I got the chips and carrots already.

But, I wish there was a way for Ian and I to coordinate in real time,

so there is no back and forth.

This is where TogetherJS comes in.

All you need to do, is add these two snippets of Javasacript to your site.

Now I can coordinate party items with Ian in real time.

After adding the Javascript,

the site now has the TogetherJS dock; which allows Ian and I to:

chat, audio chat, and see each other's cursors.

Ian has now joined the session and let's me know, through the text chat,

which items he has picked up for the party.

Ian begins to move the blue cursor, which I see on my screen,

and adds the grocery list items to the list, which I see update in real time.

Now that Ian has added the items,

I'll go in and check off the items [that] I already picked up.

And he'll see that in real time on his computer.

This is going to be a great party.
