Hi HN!<p>I'm Thiago, GitDuck co-founder and I'm here to answer any questions. We built GitDuck to help developers to learn from others as if they were in the same room.<p>We have been working remotely for a while and always struggled when we had to explain something about our code. "Should we talk in Slack? Wait, let me find the commit link... Let's do a Zoom? Oh, the person is offline now... :$" We miss how easy it was in the office to just stand up, watch another developer working and directly ask a question. We built GitDuck to solve this.<p>Check some examples:

Asking for help: <a href="https://gitduck.com/watch/5d11eda36cee9c35f57de99b" rel="nofollow">https://gitduck.com/watch/5d11eda36cee9c35f57de99b</a><p>It works directly from VS Code (soon other IDEs) and combines both screen and source code sharing in one place. Besides being focused on developers, that's the main difference from doing a screen sharing call or uploading to YT/TW.<p>Let us know what you think, thanks!
Looks from the github repos like this is MacOS only right now, is that right?<p>I'm guessing mostly based on <a href="https://github.com/gitduckhq/aperture-node" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/gitduckhq/aperture-node</a>. If you're running in VS Code though I think you might be able to use web APIs to do this easily, e.g. <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen_Capture_API" rel="nofollow">https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen_Capt...</a>.<p>Have you tried that? Either way, any ETA on Linux support? :D
This is a really cool concept!<p>Btw, I found a typo while registering. The email confirmation page says "Help sharing GitDuck to have earlier access to the platform." The word "sharing" is the wrong tense, "share" or "by sharing" would fix it.
