About CodeStream

CodeStream supercharges development workflows by putting collaboration tools in your IDE.

CodeStream is the world’s best code discussion tool! Discussing code is a surprisingly painful process, and CodeStream not only makes it dramatically easier, but also preserves the institutional knowledge that is currently being lost in Slack channels and emails. Think about how many steps you have to go through to talk about code in your current chat app:

• Copy a code block from your editor/IDE
• Switch over to your chat appication
• Find the right channel
• Paste your code, being sure to get the formatting right
• Recreate the context so that people know what repo, file and line numbers you're referring to
• Maybe even do a blame on the code to see who authored it so that you can @mention them
• Now you can ask your question...finally!

There’s a lot of friction in that process. And after you’ve gone through all of that trouble, once the discussion scrolls off the top of the channel history it’s effectively gone forever. There’s no lasting value to the discussion.
