Looks promising. I've used and enjoyed VSCode Live Share before https://code.visualstudio.com/learn/collaboration/live-share

Two great features they have are:

- The ability share a local service to your peer by simply forwarding a port.

- Remote debugging. Participant 1 can start a debugging session and Participant 2 has access to the full debugging introspection without interfering with the host's session.

We also use VSCode quite a bit at CoScreen and it works great in combination with it. The issue is that VSCode Live Share alone only enables you to collaborate on code and partially on CLI.

But if you need to debug e.g. in Chrome inspector, review logs in some other browser, explore a design in Figma, etc., you need a tool like CoScreen to go beyond code.

VS Code Live Share is one example of what I hope the future of remote collaboration will actually be: sharing of high-level semantic data rather than mere pixels and input events. The former is way more accessible with screen readers and other assistive tools, for one thing.
