Devsession – Share Your Terminal and Synchronize Your Editors

Hi all,

I'm Aram and am the founder of both Devsession and Zellij (the OSS project that powers Devsession).

I've been devoting all of my time to Zellij as an OSS maintainer for over a year and am now starting Devsession as an attempt to make this work financially sustainable.

Would be happy to answer questions and I hope you like these labors of love I started!

I’m curious: why the use and emphasis on feature flags? Are you looking to replace git?

Well - I think the idea is mostly to replace the collaboration aspects of Git. I mean - I think Git is great as a version control system, but feel it's a bit lacking when it comes to collaborating. I just don't think merge conflicts are a good way to consolidate changes.

This is why the tool places emphasis on feature flags and provides them as a built-in part of its solution. To give developers the power to work in the same branch without tripping over each other's feet.

Neat idea. Will the terminal sharing and IDE sync also be open source?

Yes, for sure. We believe in creating revenue by giving a service rather than creating intellectual property.

Cool, looking forward to seeing that happen.

Looks interesting. When will we get early access?

No commitments - but I'm hoping to get the terminal sharing parts out the door in a month or two!
