Show HN: Screen Sharing in the Browser

#1

Post by tonghohin »

Seeing all the hype around Bolt.new, I decided to give it a try, and within just 30 minutes, I built a fully functional web app for screen sharing.

How It Works:

- One user opens a room and receives a unique code.

- Participants join by simply entering the code to view the shared screen.

After that initial build, I moved the project to Cursor to continue iterating and enhancing its features.

Demo: https://share-your-screen.vercel.app

Did a quick test on Demo site. It works like a charm.

One issue: when I stopped sharing, my audience (my another computer) can still see my shared screen (I assume the last frame), what I think it shouldn't. And there is no indication or whatsoever that I have stopped sharing.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll check out the issue. It still has a lot to improve!

why the source have an accordion and carousel component? :)

Are you talking about in components/ui? If so that's ShadCN and it works by fetching components and copy/pasting them into your project rather than trying to continue to keep the components up to date.
