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 thought of the exact same thing

It "is zoom" or it "isn't zoom"? This was confusing to me. Perhaps you are directly integrating with zoom so actually it is zoom. Or else you have some sort of clone.

It's a video chat tool with direct integrations to the IDE and other dev tools.

Zoom is just a reference like Google Meet, but they have a longer name.

Can I ask, why did you launch this product without all the major IDEs being supported? I use webstorm, but the thought that it won't be supported for a few days means I may just forget about the product unless I am reminded again..

I would love to listen to his answer to this.

Launching and getting feedback from people outside of your immediate network as soon as possible is really useful. Not launching until your app is 'perfect' and 'feature complete' means you'll burn all your runway before getting a single customer and fail. I know that one from experience. It's far better to launch something that's useful to 20% of your market and then iterate to capture the other 80% than the other way round.

Usually I'd agree, but in the original post they stated the others would be launched in a few days...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

As someone who's most used editor by far is vim (can't escape IDE when writing java), I'm happy that you're doing this. However I feel like your market may be more geared towards interviewing/learning, I don't see how in my work environment that we'll ever need this.

Is this a variant of the dropbox joke?
