#42Tuple is fantastic, glad to see it getting some HN love
Re: Tuple: Pair Programming Tool for macOS
#43Tuple is hands down the best pairing software.
We use it because the latency is the best compared to other pairing tools, and it has the best UX for remote pairing.
We even use it for pairing when we have people in the same room, and we need two people on their own machines.

Hey R00k,
Love Tuple, use it daily. It really is the best for pairing.
The one thing that is annoying for me and can probably find out myself, but I think it maps cmd-a to something so I can't use it to select all.
Re: Tuple: Pair Programming Tool for macOS
#45I really like using tuple, but there’s a couple of things I’d really like to see: - an idea of how much bandwidth it’s currently using or needs. I often find if I’m on a patchy connection it’s unclear how changing the settings will have an effect - make the video face stuff more prominent, especially for multiple monitors. I work 100% remote so when pairing I like to put my Co-workers full size on my second screen wh…
+1 on making video better. The janky video feature feels like such an afterthought compared to the impeccable screensharing/pairing feature. I've had to resort to using Tuple with Zoom just for the video sometimes because the webcam freezes for no reason.
I'll also offer one related piece of feedback: the "calling" metaphor for initiating a session is quite awkward. Compared to Zoom, where you share a link/code once and then you're free to join/leave the room, in Tuple you have to ask the other person to call you every time you drop; this in particular does not play well with the forced version upgrades -- you ask the other person to call you out-of-band, and you answer, except oops, you need to upgrade Tuple, so you upgrade and restart Tuple, and now Tuple has forgotten about the last call so now you have to ask the other person to call you out-of-band again! This is a UX wart that I'd love to see fixed!

I adore Tuple and my team used it really effectively. It’s the best tool out there for remote collab as far as I’m concerned. And with a colleague on a 4G connection the way it’s economical with bandwidth is really appreciated. But we have a few teammates on Linux and we just had to drop it. Is there any possibility of a Linux version?
Yep! Hoping to make it GA soon. https://tuple.app/linux
I just about closed the window and dismissed you entirely based on this on the pricing page...
Do you support Linux and Windows? Not yet! We're Mac-only for now. If you'd like to hear when we launch support for those OSs, please drop your email in this form.
If you have something in beta or coming soon, you should update it to send people to that more actionable link instead.

#47I've worked at companies with 20 employees, and companies with 100,000 employees, and not once have I ever been asked to participate in pair programming. It would have been immensely useful in college, but VS Code already has a built-in tool that would do the job... and VS Code works on operating systems that I actually use.
Who is using this? What do you use it for? I don't mean to be facetious, I have just never been exposed to pair programming in a professional space.

#48Quoted post unavailable.
Pivotal Labs is/was all Macs and has been "pivotal" in the pair programming era.
Building apps is hard, period. Many thousands of hours go into making commercial products. Many thousands of hours go into learning how to do so. It isn't something you just stumble upon over night.
Tone the language down a bit ("stupid fanboy"), it is unnecessary and doesn't work to convey your point at all.

That's strangely the opposite of my experience. I think you have to work at a company that values engineering culture. Also, you could suggest it.

#50Hi folks! I'm one of Tuple's cofounders. Happy to hear any feedback or answer questions :)
It's a brilliant tool! Picture quality is excellent - I guess due to peer-to-peer - and the quality of the product also generally feels high. I recommended it to a new team just today.
But the audio connection seems to keep going for a few seconds after you close the pairing screen. Could be seriously embarrassing if someone utters something after thinking they've ended the call.
