I'd like to check it out but it asks me to download java which I already have. However the java plugin does not show up in FF for me. Any idea how to enable it and could you include those instructions too ? Thanks.

#62Ah, the joy of product marketing.
The VIEWING is from any device, but SHARING is not.
Ability to view on iPad in the browser is a step up from join.me, but it appears to be the only major difference. Am I missing something? I am a long time LogMeIn user, so I am probably right smack in the middle of your target audience.

#65Cool, but I couldn't close the java 'ScreenLeap' dialog without using chrome's task manager to kill the java plugin. (I'm running Ubuntu 11.10, and chrome 16.0 if that helps) Also, I feel "No downloads, installs" is a little disingenuous - just because it's not installed as a full-time application doesn't mean that it's not downloaded or installed.
This is also happening to me as well. I had to "ps x | grep java" then killed the appropriate pid to close the program.

#66Earlier quoted context omitted.
Have you tried using PNG or GIF compression? The presumably JPEG compression right now has many artifacts.
That's something we are looking into. We think that there will be different optimal image formats depending upon the use case (i.e., are you sharing an illustration or a photo). We want to see what those use cases are before optimizing.
I imagine screen-sharing may most often be for text and application windows.

#67I have been using https://join.me/ and pretty happy with it. How is this different from https://join.me/ ?
join.me does not support Linux.

Thanks for the feedback. Point taken on the "no downloads or installs". We wanted to convey how easy it is for someone to view your screen but I can see that it doesn't accurately describe the process for sharing your screen. We'll work to improve the messaging.
I think you're mostly there. Maybe just say "inside your browser". That conveys the wonderful ease of use that you've managed to implement.

#70Two questions:
1. Right now my screen share app of choice is TeamViewer. You could own this space if screen control was added, very easy to setup and use.
2. Monetization strategy? Are you looking to monetize this app?
