Pair.sh (at the moment just in closed beta and under active development) is a pairing app built with low latency and real cross-platform in mind.

The team is currently working on OSX and Linux clients with some functionality that will make Screenhero users very happy :)

Why Show HN while in closed beta?

When will it support windows?

What are the advantages over the pair just sharing a tmux session?

Another suggestion: why link the GitHub profile on the homepage if there aren't any public repos.

Most developers these days use Visual Studio Code.

Do you have a source for that claim? I for my part barely know anyone using vscode

Congrats on launching!

Some questions that perhaps could be clarified on the landing page:

How does it work? Is it screen sharing or more like VS Code Live? Does it work with all editors? What’s the edge over other standard screen sharing solutions?

And maybe it’s just me, but I think I use the term “pair programming” or something much more than just “pairing” (but perhaps that’s because the direct translation of pairing in Swedish essentially means mating)

Is this is a potential replacement for Screenhero[1] (pair programming tool that was acquired and shut down by Slack)? If so, I'm very, very interested. I've been really surprised that nothing has jumped in to fill that niche, Slack included, so looking forward to seeing this come out of closed beta.

Interestingly, Tuple[0] is a competitor to this site and directly references Screenhero. The creator, Ben Orenstein, is a podcast host on the Art of Product Podcast[1] along with Derick Reimer who created Drip.

Very odd that a product for people who write code doesn't support Windows.

Is this a tool, or just collecting emails?

Yeah, when the GitHub link in the footer has no repos it feels a little discouraging. Seems like they kind of missed their audience if they’re linking to a GitHub organization with zero public repos. I am really interested in this though. I am starting a remote gig soon and I’m told we’ll commonly pair over tmux and I’m curious how this would be better.

Nice work. I noticed a couple of misspellings on the main page though, you might want to fix that.

OhSoHumble• 7 years ago

'Encryption' is not spelled correctly on the homepage.

Congratulations on the launch. Recommend you add a 1-2 minute overview video on the landing page.

  - Do you have to install an application locally like Zoom?
  - Does it work with any editor?
  - Do you record paring sessions?

https://tuple.app/ is another new entrant to this space.

I think the rules say sign-up pages like this can't be Show HN's.

tedmiston• 7 years ago

Correct per https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html:

Blog posts, sign-up pages, and fundraisers can't be tried out, so they can't be Show HNs.

I was looking forward to giving it a try but was stopped at a signup page. Apparently it is not ready yet.

Thanks for the comment, I have just contacted the staff to try to update it

Is your product's name pronounced "perish"?

purplezooey• 7 years ago

they call it pair.sh but it's not a shell script
