Ironically, the techcrunch article had much better info[1]. The discussion on HN from 4 weeks ago was pretty good too[2] [1] http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/11/screenhero-yc/ [2] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5202486

That is quite coincidental.

Pretty sure she knows about it... http://screenhero.com/img/email.png

She might want to get her domain spelled correctly.

Fantastic tool. We've used it a bunch for remote collaboration and it really adds an element of 'togetherness' that really isn't possible with other tools.

Is this any improvement over Teamviewer? I'll check it out tomorrow, but we like Teamviewer's install method that is easy for clients.

Didn't microsoft have a tool out about 4 years ago where each person had their own mouse (which they shut down for no obvious reason)?

We use iMessage for this. Its awesome for remote teams & makes pair programming easy.

We've been using this instead of Skype and it's definitely better. Having your own mouse is awesome.

I haven't tried this yet, so forgive this ignorant question:

I don't see the full value of just my own mouse cursor...

Wouldnt it also be great if there wasa quick-fading text box that becomes opaques when I type something, then fades back to transparent with some delay?

Is the assumption that everyonre is on a con call with the mouse?

(I am not saying I don't see the value of a mouse cursor - I am just not seeing JUST A MOUSE CURSOR as a business)

Pretty handy, I've always wanted remote access where two people can move the mouse separately.

Per app sharing is great. I found myself wanting the sound coming from the app to be shared as well.
