https://tuple.app/ is another new entrant to this space.
'Encryption' is not spelled correctly on the homepage.
Is this is a potential replacement for Screenhero[1] (pair programming tool that was acquired and shut down by Slack)? If so, I'm very, very interested. I've been really surprised that nothing has jumped in to fill that niche, Slack included, so looking forward to seeing this come out of closed beta.

Interestingly, Tuple[0] is a competitor to this site and directly references Screenhero. The creator, Ben Orenstein, is a podcast host on the Art of Product Podcast[1] along with Derick Reimer who created Drip.

Pair.sh (at the moment just in closed beta and under active development) is a pairing app built with low latency and real cross-platform in mind.
The team is currently working on OSX and Linux clients with some functionality that will make Screenhero users very happy :)

Why Show HN while in closed beta?
When will it support windows?
Very odd that a product for people who write code doesn't support Windows.
Nice work. I noticed a couple of misspellings on the main page though, you might want to fix that.
Congratulations on the launch. Recommend you add a 1-2 minute overview video on the landing page.
- Do you have to install an application locally like Zoom?
- Does it work with any editor?
- Do you record paring sessions?What are the advantages over the pair just sharing a tmux session?
Another suggestion: why link the GitHub profile on the homepage if there aren't any public repos.
Most developers these days use Visual Studio Code.
Do you have a source for that claim? I for my part barely know anyone using vscode

This highlights a very specific cross-section of the programming community that isn’t necessarily representative. Users of minority programming languages and tools such as editors are going to be significantly underrepresented due to network effects.
The results very well follow the “developer evangelist”/cargo-culting and “underpaid enterprise code monkey” groups, however.

How come the total percentage > 100?
It's a multiple choice question. I use VS Code and IntelliJ for example.

"Over the past year, VS Code usage has gone from 5% to 22%."

According to “Interview Pass Rates,” it looks like there needs to be an Emacs proficiency test as part of preliminary interviewing, because Emacs users are the most likely (by far) to pass interviews!
(The article is probably right that most Emacs users are more experienced, better programmers than users of other editors, because there’s practically no bandwagon to hop onto)

Is your product's name pronounced "perish"?
Is this a tool, or just collecting emails?
Yeah, when the GitHub link in the footer has no repos it feels a little discouraging. Seems like they kind of missed their audience if they’re linking to a GitHub organization with zero public repos. I am really interested in this though. I am starting a remote gig soon and I’m told we’ll commonly pair over tmux and I’m curious how this would be better.
they call it pair.sh but it's not a shell script
I think the rules say sign-up pages like this can't be Show HN's.
Correct per https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html:
> Blog posts, sign-up pages, and fundraisers can't be tried out, so they can't be Show HNs.
I was looking forward to giving it a try but was stopped at a signup page. Apparently it is not ready yet.

Thanks for the comment, I have just contacted the staff to try to update it
Some questions that perhaps could be clarified on the landing page:
How does it work? Is it screen sharing or more like VS Code Live? Does it work with all editors? What’s the edge over other standard screen sharing solutions?
And maybe it’s just me, but I think I use the term “pair programming” or something much more than just “pairing” (but perhaps that’s because the direct translation of pairing in Swedish essentially means mating)
