I've been using meet.jit.si for pair programming because it's one of the few collaboration tools that allows multiple people to share screen at once. I'll put my coworkers screen on my 2nd monitor, and that setup has been really productive. CoScreen is the rare tool that would also fit into this workflow.

Great to hear! We're huge Jitsi fans and it's actually the video backend of CoScreen. If you want to know the whole story, watch the conversation between CoScreen CTO Jason and Jitsi mastermind Emil Ivov which we published a couple of days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nODpF8JjHE

Looks amazing. I love that you guys have Doug Engelbart subtly in your demo video on the main page. Finally we can do something Doug was able to achieve 53 years ago! No seriously, great work. This is what computers are meant for.

As a Linux user I have to ask, when is the Linux release? As soon as that's out I'm throwing zoom away.

I'm not sure how to ask this question in a way that doesn't sound snarky, so having said that I'll try:

At the end of the day, is this beneficial enough to justify a completely new product versus just sharing your screen/window over Zoom (etc.)?

When I'm pairing, I prefer to have a single "driver" where the pair is there to work through the bigger ideas and course correct code level decisions. I've never really wished that I could make edits in a window on my end that the remote peer can see in real time, but again, maybe I am missing out on some life altering ProTip to my remote pairing technique :p

Sell me on it! I'm sure the product creators are here watching this discussion, change my mind :)

Watch Doug Engelbart sell you on it 53 years ago in 1968. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJDv-zdhzMY

The fact that this isn't a reality in our every day computer use is sad. Glad to see CoScreen picked up the ball which Microsoft and Apple dropped long ago.

CTO of CoScreen here: It has been a grueling labor of love to get where we are, and there still is a lot of work ahead of us. And we can only acknowledge the shoulders of the giants we obviously stand on, like Doug Engelbart.

Linux is definitely on our roadmap.

We want to know which distros are you most interested in for us to officially support first?

I'm an Ubuntu user but Debian in general is good. I'm sure others will chime in.

Engelbart was a terrific Easter egg.
