#2This is awesome! Is this open source? I'd love to learn more about it.

#3WebRTC is a great tool and I expect to see more examples like this that will drive how we think about collaborative business tools over the next 5 years.

#4I like how simplistic this is. Btw, I am one of the makers of: https://codepad.remoteinterview.io
We used Firepad[1] (which is based on Firebase) to sync data.

I'm fascinated by the use of random word combinations instead of a random alphanumeric sequence for passing a unique URL.
What was the reasoning behind this decision? On one hand, it sort of acts like a phonetic alphabet if you want to read out the URL over skype. But on the other hand - is OberonNostalgicCeciliaVoltage really that easy to spell if you aren't a native English speaker?

#7Nicely done. I'm myself toying with webrtc and remote pair programming, so I think this is really cool.
One question: before beginning the session I got a "popup" claiming that the session is encrypted, does it just mean it's https or are you doing any other encryption?

#8For pair programming I can highly recommend tmux combined with any video chat (Skype, Hangout, etc.).

I forget which site it is off the top of my head but there's a pretty prominent gif sharing site that does it I often get linked to.
I think it's basically just as you say, for English speakers anyway, a bit of an easier way to read out URLs when talking in person or voice chatting. With non-English speakers it doesn't do much, and you're forced to say letter for letter as you would with a lot of other URLs.
