Very cool! .. so does that also mean the remote worker can't / doesn't save? Also are the changes reflected locally for both users for e.g. testing / compiling or do you rely on compute of the remote host like VNC? How about tracking changes?

Yes, the remote worker can save and the file will be saved in the host. Tracking changes is coming soon! This is super needed. We are going to add soon better tools to manage (and share) the local server. So you as a guest can edit, save and see how this is impacts the local server of the host.

Cool, thanks for all the info. I will be looking for a good opportunity to try this out properly!

Definitely a step forward in sharing by allowing each person to use their own editor. Looking forward to the vim plugin. I find myself also sharing consoles too, I'd like to see this extended to terminal sessions, perhaps the session could be rendered in other people's editors? Kind of like a live asciinema. I'd love to try this at work, unfortunately streaming Corp's code through an unapproved 3rd party service is a…

Terminal sharing is super important and we will work on it soon. This is one of the things that we need the most when we use GD internally.

Connections are P2P btw, no code touches our servers. But yeah, I understand this is not enough to get approval.

nobody's mentioned them so i'll toss them in here - https://tuple.app/ is also focused on the pair programming problem. I don't believe they have IDE integration, but like others have said, Tuple + Live Share would be a competitor to GitDuck. Glad to see more attempts at the space though!

Hah, Tuple's motivation headline laments that time "Slack stole Screenhero from us".. I can certainly relate! Fortunately the Screenhero founder has been freed from Slack, and has rebuilt it! (with promises that it will not suffer the same fate) https://screen.so

Screen is an awful name. Recently I tried installing it. I knew the name and I tried googling to no avail for the webpage (screen share, screen code share, screen, etc.). So I went with a competitor.

For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by installing an x11vnc server on your host, setting up a SSH tunnel to a remote server which forwards the host's VNC port, and sharing SSH credentials with your colleagues who can use a VNC client to access your screen from Linux, Windows or Mac.

Is this a Dropbox joke?

I don't know if you're joking, but I'm in the habit of using ZeroTier+VNC.

I don't understand why slack is worth billions when IRC has been around for decades.

But really, that is a good question.
