About hackZero
hackZero is a live streaming platform built for the generation of developers who code with AI, ship fast, and learn in the open. Not a tutorial site. Not a conference. A workspace you can watch.

What we believe
01
Not recordings. Not tutorials. Real work, happening now. Every room is a window into someone genuinely building — bugs, breakthroughs, and everything between.
02
The developer who ships in public has an audience. We built the infrastructure so your workflow is the content — no second camera, no edit suite needed.
03
Having viewers changes how you explain things. Having collaborators changes what you attempt. We designed three room modes around that insight.
04
Chat is ephemeral. Pins are permanent. Every useful moment from a stream gets captured and attributed — building a knowledge layer over time.
How it works
Mode
One host, an audience. You stream your build session — viewers follow, react, and learn in real time.
Best for: solo builders, open source contributors, tutorial-style coding
Mode
Invite collaborators into the room. Pair program, architecture review, or debug together — live.
Best for: pair programming, code review, team builds
Mode
Quiet parallel presence. Everyone works independently — ambient company without the noise.
Best for: deep work sessions, study halls, focus blocks
The board
As you stream, viewers can pin moments, suggest ideas, and annotate in real time. Those pins survive the session — becoming a structured record of decisions made, problems solved, and code shipped.
Over time your channel becomes a searchable archive of how you think and build — not just a list of recordings.

Who it's for
Using Cursor, Claude, GPT-4 as collaborators — and showing others how.
Transparency as a feature. Ship in public, grow your community as you go.
Day 1 → launch in view. Build accountability and an audience at the same time.
Dogfooding in public. Product decisions made visible in real time.
Not a tutorial. A real session. The difference is felt immediately.
Watch how senior engineers think, not just what they type.
Create your first room in under a minute. No setup, no equipment required.
