This text editor consist from 2 parts: host and client. They are ran on different devices. Host must be ran first. Which one is host is set in "conf.txt" located in project directory. Host must be on LAN, port-forwarded or tunneled with ngrok. Port and host address must be set in "conf.txt". SyncTEd requires small latency, bellow 150ms is recommended.

In "conf.txt" are several more settings:
