How to show a coding session live

A canvas is shared as an address. Whoever opens it sees the windows, reads the terminals as they scroll and sees the other cursors, with no account to make and nothing to install. Watching costs nothing and grants nothing.

Step by step

1. Open the project canvas. The agents may already be running or not: the link shows the state as it is, not a recording of it.
2. Copy the read link. It grants the right to watch and nothing else. Nobody can start an agent, write a file or close a window with it.
3. Send it. They open the address in their browser. No account to create, no extension, no invitation to accept.
4. Work while they watch. The terminals scroll on their screen at the same time as on yours, and their cursor appears on the canvas with a name and a colour.

What it is actually for

Showing somebody new to agents how you work, letting a client see that the work is moving, or having a colleague watch while a migration runs. In all three the value is being there during, not reading it after.

What the viewer sees

The windows, the terminal contents at the moment they change, the board of claimed files, and the named cursors of everybody else in the room. The same scene you have, not a capture of it.

If you want them to touch it

A canvas shared for writing is a different move, and it is what the plans open: everybody drives their own agents in the same project. See what the canvas is.
