# Live Collaborative Coding & Online IDE

CoderPad’s interview ‘pad’ environment provides an online IDE where both interviewers and candidates can code live – together. This interactive coding platform allows you to write, execute and debug code – all in a performant, browser-based environment.

## Code Together

Get a better understanding of your candidate’s thought process by evaluating their skills collaboratively in our browser-based IDE. Talk systems design, describe technical architecture, and sketch using shapes and text in Drawing Mode.
