Thank you for this, I am a big fan of pair programming, and even jetbrains is getting rid of their code-with-me service! It’s so Frustrating to see a useful feature/tool get abandoned due to low usage. But those of us who use pair programming absolutely love it :)

It’s a tool that helps further human connection, imo. And we could all use a little more of that atm.

It's crazy because we dogfood Petal daily, and did so with CoScreen while it was alive... and we absolutely cannot live without it.

I'm in Utah, and Till is in CA, so it's vital to our daily work.

Truly I don't understand how people do remote work or collaboration these days... maybe they don't? Or maybe Zoom/Meet are good enough (I really truly think they aren't, it's an abusive horrible experience every time I am forced to use Zoom or Meet for anything).

There just seems to be something sticky about them, but the people who try a CoScreen, Tuple, Pop, or other tool designed around collaboration I think become converted permanently, but getting people into that funnel is very very hard.
