What is this?
Screego is a screen sharing app built for developers. It exists because sharing code over chat tools like Microsoft Teams often meant seconds of lag or quality so poor that colleagues could not read the code.

No — screego ships with an integrated TURN server that handles NAT traversal, so Docker or the binary alone is enough.Can it replace my team's chat or meeting tool?No — by design it only shares your screen and nothing else. Treat it as an add-on to the chat tools you already use, without chat or video calls.
