Author here of the original post, it is Tahoe indeed I should update the post!


I’ve been working on Hopp (a low-latency screen sharing app) using Tauri, which means relying on WebKit on macOS. While I loved the idea of a lighter binary compared to Electron, the journey has been full of headaches.

From SVG shadow bugs and weird audio glitching to WebKitGTK lacking WebRTC support on Linux, I wrote up a retrospective on the specific technical hurdles we faced. We are now looking at moving our heavy-duty windows to a native Rust implementation to bypass browser limitations entirely.


Being honest, that was one of the main deal breakers. Profile management, so we do not have work tabs spilling over into our personal space.

It was indeed long supported, but not a smooth experience. Have anyone tried the new profile management out?


Not sure if Hacktoberfest will be the same again


In this pipeline, aren't alternative approaches like turbopuffer efficient?

Meaning no much pruning in the space, but utilizing Object storage for long term retention, and cache-hit staying in nvme?

Curious how it compares as companies like Linear and Cursor are using it but not sure if it would help in this case.


Yes! You are right that with turbopuffer you eliminate the need for manual compression and pruning and you get ultra-fast response times out of the box. I tried to stay at a higher system-design level and I think the optimal choice depends heavily on an organization’s scale and maturity: startups vs large enterprises.


Wow did not know this, thanks for reporting, will probably then skip the video and add something more light-weight.


Pair programming though is not only editor interactions. Debugging through logs, drawing etc are happening outside an IDE.


Before starting Hopp and searching for alternatives, one of the things I really liked was Zed's paradigm around collaboration, with its Collab panel and Channels.

The streaming quality was also quite good with Zed. VSCode and JetBrains pairing features were a pain, as you needed to share a URL. The experience in general was not optimal. Not something you want to do multiple times a day.

With Zed, the only drawback was that the scope is always IDE (view mode also for whole screen). But from my experience, pairing is more than your IDE. It's terminal, debugging your unnecessarily complex AWS setup, fiddling with Grafana dashboards, etc.


If you enjoy Tuple, we just silently open-sourced Hopp (one of the maintainers here), we are still in Beta era, but would love some feedback!


There is also code example with Envoy
