Pair.sh (at the moment just in closed beta and under active development) is a pairing app built with low latency and real cross-platform in mind.

The team is currently working on OSX and Linux clients with some functionality that will make Screenhero users very happy :)

What are the advantages over the pair just sharing a tmux session?

Another suggestion: why link the GitHub profile on the homepage if there aren't any public repos.

Congrats on launching!

Some questions that perhaps could be clarified on the landing page:

How does it work? Is it screen sharing or more like VS Code Live? Does it work with all editors? What’s the edge over other standard screen sharing solutions?

And maybe it’s just me, but I think I use the term “pair programming” or something much more than just “pairing” (but perhaps that’s because the direct translation of pairing in Swedish essentially means mating)

Why Show HN while in closed beta?

Is this is a potential replacement for Screenhero[1] (pair programming tool that was acquired and shut down by Slack)? If so, I'm very, very interested. I've been really surprised that nothing has jumped in to fill that niche, Slack included, so looking forward to seeing this come out of closed beta.
