But… why does it lag? Shouldn’t this be trivial enough to be instant?
Probably because of websocket network lag and also, in my anecdotal experience, window position updates are sometimes strangely jittery

I had some fun doing some SQL joins with this: https://twitter.com/burcs/status/1728081692273823863
Okay this one is actually cool. I'm hoping it's not totally one-off scripted but it's fun either way. :)

#74made something similar 14 years ago... https://youtu.be/bEwsuWNxdno domain isn't mine anymore...
What API allowed that back then?
I don't see what is technically new about this? What API has been missing to do this?
Tcp and window.screenTop and screenLeft should get you there right? Hmm, yeah, 2008 is a long time ago though..

#75I'm wondering about practical application of this demo...
Maybe making colour mixing ven diagrams?

#77That's a fun use of LocalStorage. I used the same LocalStorage sharing technique to update the target window when the setting had been changed on a separate browser window. Just listen for the storage.onChanged event for the update.
I don’t think this is using local storage. There’s a web sockets based server that is sending clients the location of the other boxes as they are moving

#78That's a great demo! I'd be curious to see how this would work with multiple monitors. Also, thank you for voluntarily acknowledging that you were directly inspired by somebody else and giving them credit - the software industry could use more people like you.
What, thieves?
Make your stuff from zero, like the rest of us!

Why is it over a websocket? Can't it just share local data?
those were my thoughts too
You can use Broadcast Channels as well as Service Workers, even WebRTC would use a loopback interface!
