Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why not? If you made a backup product called "Windows Backup" (or more relevant to this example, a collaboration product for Microsoft Office called "Office Duck"), Microsoft will definitely go after you for trademark infringement. Why should it be any different for an open source project with a registered trademark?

What about GitHub and GitLab?

AFAIK they started using those names before the git trademark was registered

How is this better than Visual Studio (Code) Live Share [1]? Adding a third party dependency for code-sharing seems like a non-starter for large enterprise companies which already have a hard enough time with the first party offering. [1]: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/services/live-share/

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!

Can't say I've ever encountered a startup selling an "Enterprise" plan but their software also ONLY supporting Mac.

Are there enterprises where they use Mac as default over Windows / Linux?

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…

GitDuck founder here. The use-case you’re describing is definitely in our roadmap!

Your concerns are totally understandable and we’re more than happy to discuss how to get GitDuck approved on your Corp.

Security is one of our top priorities! [1] As Thiago said, code is shared on a P2P e2e encrypted way (code never visits our server) and we can always discuss on-prem options (100% hosted in your infra) so no data at all leaves your network and you can control all inbound/outbound traffic.

Feel free reach out if you have any other question or concern!

The main advantage is that you can collaborate with people using other IDEs. So I could be using VSC, other person Webstorm and a third one Vim.

Live Share works in both Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code (dunno, maybe VS Mac as well) - if you're in a dotnet shop that covers most cases.

Having used both VS Code Live Share, and trying out GitDuck last week for the first time, I'd say it felt like a much more immersive experience than the VS Code Live Share experience.

For VS Code Live Share I kept finding myself opening up Zoom and then in parallel trying to get Live Share running, which also feels somewhat finicky at times. The GitDuck experience felt a lot more complete by integrating at a different level. It also felt like it could eventually be a more suitable experience for things we often do in interviews like try to do coding interviews by combining tools like CoderPad & Zoom - though CoderPad has the nice side effect of preservice links to the interviews themselves.

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.

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

because slack is a product and IRC is a protocol? what is the actual irc-based alternative to slack?

I'd love to try it, but your terms of service seem to completely ignore GDPR.
