This is really cool.

A couple of thoughts:

The screen share cannot be fullscreened(?), which makes it hard to see fine details.

The pair-programming code sharing didn't work VSCode to Pycharm (Or my coworker didn't get the plugin configured correctly in Pycharm).

Overall though, GitDuck seems like a great tool.

Specifically, section 2 ignores (The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations)[ https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-pecr/what-are-... ] and section 11 ignores (the consent part)[ https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protectio... ] of GDPR, without giving a different lawful basis for data processing.

That section 2 part is illegal in a lot of the world, and it’s not recent like GDPR. For Europe, PECR is from 2003. It’s illegal in Australia too since 2003: informed consent is required for such commercial messages, and merely being a customer is insufficient, it must be opt-in rather than opt-out (and that means you can’t even pretick a newsletter checkbox). (There used to be an excellent document outlining the legislation requirements at https://www.acma.gov.au/Industry/Marketers/Anti-Spam/Ensurin..., but that page seems to have disappeared recently with no obvious replacement.)
