| Fact | Hopp | live-share.nvim |
|---|---|---|
| Platforms | The documentation lists macOS and Windows as fully supported; Linux is not working properly due to missing functionality. | The default ws transport is described as tested on Linux, OpenBSD, macOS, and Windows using Git Bash; the optional punch P2P transport is tested on Linux. |
| Purpose | Hopp is an open-source screen-sharing and remote pair-programming app built for developers. | live-share.nvim provides real-time pair programming and collaborative editing for Neovim. |
| Self-hosting | Self-hosting requires Docker Compose, a public hostname and firewall access for HTTP, HTTPS, LiveKit TCP and WebRTC UDP ports. | The project documents self-hosting a tunnel so session traffic does not pass through a third-party tunnel provider. |
