Re: Tmate - Instant terminal sharing
#2I've tried this out and it is dramatically better then other alternatives, full screen-sharing suffers from latency issues (screenhero, logmein, etc...) and sharing an ssh session is a pain to get setup (e.g. wemux). I highly recommend it.

#3I don't get it why not just use tmux?!
tmux -S /tmp/pair
chmod 777 /tmp/pair
tmux -S /tmp/pair attach

Because you need to open some port on your router, create an SSH account, and let your friend connect to your machine. That's a pain point.

From the video it looks like this works via SSH as well so you will still need to "create an SSH account, and let your friend connect to your machine"

This is tmux with the headache of sharing an ssh session solved.

with wemux, you still need to give SSH access to your local machine, but with tmate, you don't give SSH access.
As a matter of fact, you don't even need an SSH server on your machine.
The trouble of having to setup networking // SSH accounts is gone

You don't need to create an SSH account or let your friends connect to your machine. Your session is proxied through the tmate.io server (safely) so that you can avoid the headache of opening up a connection.
