AtomPair vs Visual Studio Live Share: What are the differences?
Developers describe AtomPair as "Pair Programming with Slack and HipChat Integration". Remote pairing within the Atom.IO text editor, powered by Pusher. On the other hand, Visual Studio Live Share is detailed as "Real-time collaborative development". When you start a live share session in Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio Code, your teammates get instant and secure access to your code in their own tool – no need to clone, copy, or configure anything.
AtomPair and Visual Studio Live Share can be primarily classified as "Realtime Code Collaboration" tools.
AtomPair is an open source tool with 1.49K GitHub stars and 45 GitHub forks. Here's a link to AtomPair's open source repository on GitHub.
We're doing weekend hackathons with customers to help them implement our API faster. So, I'm searching for a great remote pair programming tool with seamless onboarding/set-up. Want it to be as close to a Collison Install ("hand me your laptop, and I'll install Stripe right now") experience as possible.
Has anyone used GitDuck, Tuple, etc. for something like this? I would love suggestions.
Gitduck is multiIDE (VSC is obviously not) and includes video/audio conferencing, so it solves several issues at once. Installation of the plugin is not difficult (search in the IDE plugin store, install, then click on a link you send them to join the pair programming room).
Hope it helps!
