Software developers often face challenges when collaborating on code in real-time, especially when using different Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). Traditional methods of collaboration can be cumbersome, requiring developers to switch between multiple applications for coding, code reviews, and communication. This can lead to decreased productivity and a disjointed development experience.

Duckly is an IDE plugin designed to facilitate real-time collaboration among developers, regardless of their preferred IDE. It enables developers to share their code, terminal sessions, and local servers directly from within their IDE, fostering a more seamless and efficient collaborative environment. With end-to-end encryption and integrated audio and video communication, Duckly enhances pair programming, live coding, and code reviews. The platform allows developers to see each other's cursors and code in real-time, share terminal sessions with read or write access, and share local servers to view changes instantly.
