We are starting Hopp
We are starting Hopp, a new way to pair program remotely.
Hey everyone,
We’re Costa (Engineer at Grafana) and Iason (Engineer at ARM), and we’re beyond excited to introduce Hopp—our take on the future of remote pair programming.
We’ve both spent years coding remotely, dealing with laggy, frustrating screen-sharing tools that made real collaboration impossible. We tried everything—Slack Huddles, Teams, Google Meet, even Tuple—but nothing gave us the ultra-smooth, low-latency experience we needed to truly pair like we were in the same room, or provide them at a reasonable cost.
So, we built Hopp.
Why Hopp?
Hopp is designed for developers who demand the best pairing experience.
✅ <100ms latency – Powered by LiveKit, so fast it feels local. We also have a fork of WebRTC that we're working on to improve latency even more.
✅ Full remote control – Code together, not just watch.
✅ Crystal-clear resolution – Read every line of code, no blurry text.
✅ Built with Rust & Tauri – Cross-platform, lightweight, and optimized for performance.
✅ Coming soon to open-source – Inspired by Zed’s journey, we’ll be opening up Hopp incrementally.
Join Us on This Journey
Hopp is still in the works, but we’re onboarding early users next week. If you’re tired of laggy pair programming and want something built by developers, for developers, we’d love for you to try Hopp and help shape it.
Join the waitlist and be among the first to experience pair programming the way it should be.
Can’t wait to share this with you all!
