I'm curious why somebody would start with a machinetosh? Windows is used way more than machinetosh on developer machines. Is it because: 1) Authors don't know the demographics? or 2) They think that Windows users wouldn't pay? (Not true I think) or some other reason?

it might be a technical reason sometimes. Does windows provide an API for you to capture a window, instead of a desktop on a specific screen?

OP here, we believe that the time has come to let remote workers and highly agile teams get stuff done together in a very different and much more natural way. CoScreen is a remote collaboration tool that enables exactly that. Problem: Pretty much anyone who has ever worked remotely knows it - today’s remote collaboration solutions provide much better screensharing quality and reliability (thanks, Zoom) compared to a…

How much does it take to pay a hunter on PH in order to be featured these days? asking for a friend.

I think the go to rate was $5k, this is maybe 6 months ago. It was a friend who told me after they asked a famous ex-Uber employee to hunt them

Congrats on the launch. This looks like one of those great ideas that works so much better than the old way that it feels obvious in hindsight.

I’m curious how you handle different monitor resolutions?

looking forward to using this once it rolls to linux

From a security standpoint can you discuss the life of my data as it goes from my computer, through your service, and into my coworkers computer. What is stored where? Who at your company can access what? Thank you in advance for any information you are able to provide.

This looks like an amazing idea executed brilliantly–reminds me of Dropbox in that way. But I've been thinking about it for the last five minutes and I cannot figure out how you guys actually managed to implement this. What sorcery is at the root of this? How do you composite windows from two different machines into a single desktop on macOS?

I assume it's not a real desktop, but a full-screen window of their app. And I guess it basically works via two-way machine control. Each person's computer is actually driving their own windows, but the software allows everyone to control everyone's (shared) windows, just like one-sided remote-control apps. It's a pretty clever idea!

That's why I have never found a single useful product on ProductHunt for years now. It has become an absolute farce that it should be illegal.

If there's one thing I can't stand in a screen sharing app (I'm looking at you, Slack and Zoom), it's annoying overlays.

I want to be able to open up my IDE, go full screen with it, and have zero overlays visible.

The only tool I've been able to find that lets me do this is Tuple (tuple.app), which is the closest thing I've found to Screenhero (which was my favorite screen sharing and pair programming app back in the day).

I want to see the actual product. Cool animations but a picture is worth 1000 words

The intro video on the homepage shows the actual software in action at around 53 seconds (mouse over the video to unveil the seek bar).

Exactly, here's the direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHI5-ne2F2I&feature=youtu.be...

Seems like a great idea. One question is visual data only shared among peers or does it pass through your servers?
