Why can't you just share screen and use an already familiar editor instead of this gimmick?

- hoopyfrood 9y agoThere is way less bandwidth involved since the amount of data transferred for a shared coding exercise does not surpass the data (pixels) involved in screen sharing. Helps with remote interviews/candidates with slow connections.
- drdaeman 9y agoI think screen sharing isn't really optimized for text legibility - it's still the same video calls, just using screen capture instead of webcam as a source. When I've shown some code over Skype, I had to change fonts size to pretty large to make sure it was comfortable to read. Also, bandwidth. Video streaming requires a lot.
