[Media] Introducing Hopp, an open source remote pair programming app written in Rust

edit: the gif is showing a user sharing a display with a cursor window and a remote user taking control and editing.

Born out of frustration with laggy, or quite good but expensive, and closed-source remote pairing tools, with a buddy of mine we decided to build the open-source alternative we've wanted.

GitHub Repo: https://github.com/gethopp/hopp

After building Hopp almost a year nights and weekends we have managed to have:

  • ⚡ 4K low latency screen sharing
  • 👥👥 Mob programming
    • Join a room and start pairing immediately with up to 10 teammates
  • 🎮 Full remote control
    • Take full control of your teammate computer.
  • 🔗 One click pairing
    • No more sharing links with your teammates on chat
  • 🖥️ Cross-Platform
    • Built with Tauri, Hopp supports macOS and Windows. We want to support Linux too, but it turned out a much bigger pain than we originally thought.

We are still in beta land, so a lot of exciting things are in the pipeline. As this is my second Rust project, any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.
