GitDuck is a video chat tool built for developers that has direct integration to the IDE so you can talk, share your code in real-time and easily collaborate with your team. It enables remote developers to work as if they were side by side.
With GitDuck you can code with people using different IDEs, like VSCode or WebStorm, IntelliJ or PyCharm. Review our website for the complete list of supported IDEs.
The code is only shared P2P encrypted with the video call participants. It never touches our servers.
