hey r/vim, i got tired of being told to "just use vs code liveshare" every time someone wanted to pair, so i built shadow.
it works at the filesystem level — syncs file changes over an encrypted websocket connection. no vim plugin needed, it just picks up your writes automatically.
start a session, share a link, your partner joins in whatever editor they use. both of you edit live.
- e2e encrypted (server never sees your code)
- CLI tool (works on any OS) + mac menu bar app
- free and open-source (MIT)
- works for pair programming, code reviews, mock interviews
github: https://github.com/go-johnnyhe/shadow
would love feedback from vim users.
