Not my site, but I stumbled onto it from another submission earlier and thought it was neat and deserved some attention. Noticed it from this submission: https://hamvocke.com/blog/lets-create-a-terminal-color-scheme/

If you're working on the same machine (say via SSH) you can also share a session with tmux. https://www.hamvocke.com/blog/remote-pair-programming-with-tmux/
