Some years ago, we launched USE Together, a remote pair programming and team collaboration tool. Back then, we were all frustrated with the lack of effectiveness of generic screen sharing tools with remote control support, and I wanted to do something about it. Today I'm coming back to share a new page of our story: Drovio!
Drovio is the evolution of USE Together and the summary of everything we've learned along the way, listening to our users' feedback for the past 3 years. The purpose remains the same, create a seamless remote collaboration experience for developers, yet with a completely revamped UI and some pretty cool new features.
So, what makes Drovio different?
- Instant collaboration with multi-cursors interaction: you're not alone at your desk any more!
- An interface developed with developer needs in mind
- Low latency screen sharing experience
- Fully secure P2P connection: data privacy at its best
- And last but not least: available on macOS, Windows and Linux!
The actual calls/screen shares are really high quality and generally just work, which is great.
The app used to start calls sometimes hangs and requires force kill on both the app and some underlying services. Usually in these kind of apps it's the other way around, i.e. that the calls suck, so I guess I will take it.
I'm not sure I understand the new name, but the new website looks much better.
Are there any open-source tools in this space? Not necessarily full-featured meeting platforms, but tools that can share a screen/window with remote control and multiple cursors?
With Drovio, you’re not limited to what’s on your IDE nor to terminals and shared servers. You can share docs, stack overflow posts, tools, any other apps, debug stuffs together... You all see the same thing and you’re all in control, with voice chat and video conferencing support.
Yes, Drovio is a low latency, collaborative screen sharing tool. It lets you share your code and anything else that’s on your screen (API doc, what you’re actually coding - app or web app, any other editor, Sketch for your icons...).
