Hopp - Your new code-pairing partner

What is Hopp?

If you've ever been frustrated by Slack Huddles, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams when pairing, Hopp is built for you.

Hopp is a next-gen screen-sharing tool for programmers that lets you pair as if you're on the same machine—no matter where you are. Both participants get full keyboard and mouse control, making real-time collaboration seamless.

To achieve this, we fine-tuned libwebrtc for ultra-low latency and built on LiveKit's network for unmatched speed and reliability.

Why are we building Hopp?

There isn't a high-quality, open-source remote pairing tool that meets the needs of developers.

Existing tools like Tuple are excellent but closed-source, limiting flexibility and community-driven innovation.

We're building Hopp to change that—an open-source, developer-first tool that's blazing fast, reliable, and gives developers full control.

In this spirit, you'll even be able to self host or use your own LiveKit keys to reduce costs and customize your experience.

Can I use it now?

Not just yet—we're grinding on nights and weekends to make Hopp rock-solid before opening it up. Join the waiting list, and we'll ping you as soon as it's ready!

We're rolling out early access next week, onboarding users in waves to gather feedback and squash bugs before opening up to more people.

Who's building Hopp?

We're Costa and Iason, friends since university and engineers passionate about creating tools that make developer collaboration seamless.

With our combined experience in building scalable systems, developer-focused tools, system programming, and low-latency performance, we've worked on projects like VisualEyes, Neo4j, and GPU drivers at Arm.

Now, based in Sweden and the UK, we're using these skills to build Hopp—a fast, reliable, and developer-first pairing tool.

What platforms will Hopp support?

We're starting with first-class support for macOS and actively working on bringing Hopp to Windows. Linux support will follow, with Ubuntu as our initial focus.

While macOS will be available first, we encourage you to sign up for the waiting list, regardless of your platform, to stay updated as we expand support.

Hopp is built with Rust and TypeScript using Tauri, with critical components in Rust for performance and cross-platform compatibility.

When will Hopp be open source?

We plan to make Hopp open source once the project is stable and mature. This ensures we provide a solid foundation before inviting contributions from the community.

By open-sourcing Hopp, we aim to empower developers to inspect the code, customize their experience, and contribute to its growth. We're particularly excited about collaborating with the community to expand support for Linux distributions beyond Ubuntu.

How much will Hopp cost?

Still TBD, but we're designing Hopp to be accessible and scalable for teams of all sizes. For developers using their own LiveKit keys, there's potential for significantly reduced costs, making Hopp even more flexible to your needs.

We'd love to hear your thoughts—sign up for the waiting list and let us know what pricing model works for you!

I don't have a pair, but I'd love to try Hopp.

No worries! Sign up for the waiting list and drop us a note. We'd love to pair with you while building Hopp—it'll be fun! 🫡
