chmod4 - Real time code sharing without the pain of screen sharing

chmod4 makes sharing the code that you're working on with remote collaborators as easy as running a command in your editor. We currently support Emacs, Sublime Text, and VS Code. Collaborators only need a browser.

@jonathanbeurel Maybe an alternative to vs studio share during the technical test for our recruiting process ?

@gael_motte You are right. And it's great that it's cross text editor (VS Code / Sublime)

Amazing product! How does it work?

@theblackuchiha It's actually remarkably simple. Effectively it's just a websocket connection between the editor, our server, and whoever is viewing the code. The editor then streams updates to whatever it is working on over that websocket.

@theblackuchiha The code is open source if you'd like to take a look. https://github.com/ZekeMedley/co... the www/ directory is likely the interesting part as that is where the server code is.

Looks great! But I tried to install it on Sublime Text, but it greys out the "Start Mirroring" option, for some reason. Any idea why that is?

@bricklerex Interesting. I'm not sure. Do you know what version of Sublime Text you're using? I can try and reproduce if you know.

Noah and I started working on this after taking a remote operating systems class. Showing our teammates the code we were working over Zoom's screen sharing was hard because it required a good internet, screens needed to be the same size, and we couldn't copy paste or interact with the files being shared. chmod4 solves those problems all while allowing you to stay inside your editor of choice. It's designed to be as low friction to use possible and it is free while we hope to collect your feedback :) We're excited to hear what you think and how this is useful to you.
