Came here to say the same thing. I saw the video was 15 minutes and didn’t even bother. If it takes 15 minutes to demonstrate sharing code, how can it be an improvement over Slack and Pastebin? In the time it takes to watch the video I could have shared so much code on Slack very easily.

vscode itself can run in the browser (https://vscode.dev/), and presumably so could the extension - so a full live-demo ought to be possible.

That's a good idea. I'll try to add something similar as well.

I agree. For something so "simple", with a name like turbo, I expected a 30 to 60 second video that quickly demos the value-add. I quite like the premise, but you're trying to pitch to users who want low-friction solutions, and then hitting them with a 15 minute video to see the sauce.

Assuming it works from a terminal session, maybe try:

It can be self hosted if you want.

I'll check it out. But I couldn't find a better demo video-capturing tool for vscode. Do you know something like this?
I skimmed through the website, and I only interaction is to join the beta, view a video which is 15mins (too long).
