the square root of 121 is 11. 999 of 1,000 adults do not know this simple fact. Marcus Aurelius was born 121 AD. He taught simplicity, “Ask yourself at every moment, ‘Is this necessary?’” Code Stream is

Pros:

intuitive interface. Why wasn’t something like this available before now?

Cons:

it has a terrible singing voice

Claudio Pinkus
We can learn to sing better... promise.

This looks super cool. Is it compatible with Visual Studio on the Mac too (Xamarin)?
Peter Pezaris
@keithdaulton1 Unfortunately, no, as that is a completely different editor with a different set of extension APIs. there was a rumor going around at MS Build that MSFT is working to unify their VS extension APIs (which would make life a lot easier for us), but we haven't been able to get confirmation on that yet.

As an executive level manager I don't deal with "code" directly but I can see how CodeStream will be a valuable tool in increasing efficiencies and collaboration among developer teams.

Pros:

Excellent interface and easy to understand/follow.

Cons:

Couldn't find any.

Does this work with VIM?
Peter Pezaris
@glenn_dorsam not yet; VIM will be difficult to support but we're hoping for something in a few months.
Tom Hadfield
I love this, @peter_pezaris. What's on your product roadmap over the next few months?
Peter Pezaris
@tomhadfield Two big projects currently underway are MS Teams support and a Docker-based on-prem solution. Then Eclipse and Sublime support. Plus a few surprises we're keeping close to our vest for now :)
Tom Hart
Do you support any other source control tools in addition to git, like perforce?
Peter Pezaris
@tom_hart1 not yet, although we have received some requests from larger enterprise for perforce support. we estimate it would take about 2 weeks to build that out. shoot me an email at pez@codestream.com if you'd like more details.

Great company, great product, great chance to boost team productivity.

Ruben Salazar

Can’t wait to see this product grow!

Pros:

I work in a small shop and this is a great way to help our team grow. Our code is unique and we have a hard time training new developers.

Cons:

I don’t have enough experience to list any cons
