Show HN: We built an open-source alternative to expensive pair programming apps

My friend and I grew frustrated with the high cost of existing pair programming tools, and of course of grainy screens when we used Huddle or similar tools.

We believe core developer collaboration shouldn't be locked behind an expensive subscription.

So for the past year we spent our nights and weekend building Hopp, an open-source alternative.

We would love your feedback and we are here to answer any and all questions.
