Open a room, send the link, and you are both typing in the same file. You can see their cursor moving around, you share one terminal, and the code runs right there in the tab. Nothing to install on either end.
It runs in a tab you already have open.
You see their cursor with their name on it, moving through the file while they type. Nothing to merge, nothing to pull. Git still works when you want it, this just sits before that part.
One terminal everybody can see. Somebody hits run and the output shows up for all of you at once, which makes debugging together a lot less painful than reading errors to each other.
Send the URL and they are in. They do not need an account to watch, and nobody has to spend twenty minutes getting their environment to match yours.
Usually faster than getting everyone onto a video call.
Hit start. You get a fresh room in your browser, straight away.
Paste the link into chat, or pull someone in from your favourites. They land in the file you are already in.
Type at the same time, run it, argue about it, fix it. All in the same place.
People use it for all sorts of things. A few we see a lot:
Write it out while they watch, then hand them the keyboard and see if it sticks.
Send a link instead of a screenshot. They can poke at the actual code.
Work through the problem set together at 1am, which is when it always happens.
Both of you on your own keyboards, no screen share, no asking someone to scroll up.
Let the room follow along and jump in when they want to try something.
The whole team in one file, taking turns at the wheel.

Two people can use it free for as long as they like. You only need to pay when a third person shows up, or when you want your rooms to stick around instead of going to sleep.
You and one other person.
For when you do this most weeks.
For study groups, classrooms and actual teams.
No card needed to start. Cancel anytime.
No. Anyone with the link can spectate right in the browser, no account needed. To edit code you need an account, and you need one to create rooms and keep your work.
JavaScript, TypeScript, Python and HTML run right in the browser today, with more on the way.
Yes. Cursors, edits and terminal output all move in real time, so you are looking at the same thing they are.
On a screen share only one person can actually type, and everyone else is squinting at a compressed video of your editor. Here everybody can edit and run the thing themselves.
We built a separate thing for that. Meritan adds recording and anti-cheating for interviews.
It takes about ten seconds and it is free for two people. Bring someone.
