What does this do that VS Live Share [1] in VS Code doesn’t? Seems like port sharing + tty sharing has this covered.

The host shares their TTY and ports, all the clients see everything that happens in the host’s TTY (read-only) and ports (r/w on localhost.) Code editing syncs in real-time to the host machine P2P.
