This is huge. Love the concept. My company is 100% remote, and we're having all the pain points with Zoom that have already been mentioned. We also all have more than one monitor. But we're on windows. Get that pre-order form online already! ;)

I literally started typing a note to my team to check this out and say: We're going to be trying this out after the holiday, and then realized it was wasn't Window's ready. Super bummed.

yep, not obvious from the home screen it isn't for windows... the "Now available for MacOS" gave me the impression it was originally for windows...

also no hint the company is even interested in windows...?

UPDATE: yes, in their https://www.coscreen.co/feedback they ask about windows support...

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's not called a "machinetosh". It's Macintosh, or Mac for short. Named after the McIntosh variety of apple (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McIntosh_(apple)).

"Windows is used way more than [Macintosh] on developer machines." - Citation needed. Macs are extremely popular among web developers, and are required for iOS developers, both pretty major categories of "developer".

I honestly don't understand why more companies haven't dropped Zoom after their recent major lapses in security practices:

It leaves me with very little confidence that the Zoom client for Windows doesn't have some gaping undiscovered vulnerability in it.

Ok, so where is the actual product? There’s no way to try it as a demo and the demo shown in the video is a fake one - yes, even the one after the flat animations with the real desktop.

My impression is that the product hasn’t been built yet or is even ready for beta. Is this another one of those ‘MVP’ landing pages that fools the consumer into believing there is a product to gather reception?

Thanks.

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…

I gave up in fustration, the site has no real information, no system requirements, no installation information. does it run on linux? I like the idea but i have a department with 100 fedora workstations in it.

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…

Zoom's overlay controls are pretty great too

I am feeling the same way mate. I believe it’s only for macOS.

Thanks for your feedback, sorry if that wasn't clear. We'll fix our website. It's indeed macOS-only for now (we had to start somewhere). Here all steps to get started: https://support.coscreen.co/portal/kb/articles/getting-start...
