Code in the
same room.
PairLane replaces screen sharing with shared coding rooms where everyone can write, run, and debug together.

}Built for live technical collaboration
The screen sharing problem
One person codes. Everyone else watches.
Screen sharing turns collaboration into a spectator sport. PairLane gives everyone a cursor, a voice, and the same live workspace.
One person controls everything.
Everyone else becomes a spectator instead of a collaborator.
The conversation leaves the code.
Calls, chats, terminals, and context get separated from the actual problem.
Collaboration becomes invisible.
You can’t tell who’s thinking, debugging, following, or waiting.
Shared workspace
One room. Everyone inside.
Code, comments, execution output, and shared context — all in the same live workspace. No tab switching.

}How PairLane works
Less presenting.
More building together.
Everyone stays in sync.
Code, output, and room activity update live for everyone. No lag, no drift.
See who’s active without asking.
Know who’s typing, debugging, or just following along — all in realtime.
No switching screen share.
The room stays shared. No handoffs, no awkward remote control requests.
Rooms remember context.
Problems, output, comments, and history stay together between sessions.
Guided collaboration
Follow Mode
When you follow someone, your view stays locked to theirs. Perfect for mentoring, code review, and pair programming where one person leads.

Mentor room
driving
workspace.tsconst room = await pairlane.open()
room.follow("driver")
room.on("change", (event) => {
workspace.apply(event)
presence.update(event.user)
})Participant room
Following Mentor
workspace.tsconst room = await pairlane.open()
room.follow("Priya")
room.on("change", (event) => {
workspace.apply(event)
presence.update(event.user)
})Bring people into the code.
Open a room, invite your team, and start solving together. No screen sharing required.
