#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thank you! > Have you considered the accessibility ramifications of this, e.g. for blind people using screen readers? We are considering the accessibility ramifications now since we've pivoted toward a general API. We didn't focus on accessibility for blind people initially because we were building a watch party platform. I think offering accessibility features would give us a massive edge against technologies like s…
> Is there a specific use-case you're thinking of? The OP mentioned a tutoring use case. If you're going to sell this to educational institutions or companies that serve them, at least in the US, then accessibility is important.
I see. Sorry! I got excited and went in founder mode — for a moment I thought you had a problem we could solve for you :)
Thank you for stressing the importance of accessibility. We're really impressed with the quality of the questions so far.

They're actively in development and the maintainer is friendly.

#16Neat, looks like Mighty app but multi-user. Interesting that both companies are YC funded.

#17Since AFAIU it's a video stream without any DOM, is there any accessibility affordance?
Currently, we do not have accessibility support for the browser, we only do the video stream. The reason we haven't worked on this yet is because of our focus on watch parties, and the video stream being streamed was usually that of a video itself, so not a lot of accessibility could be added to that use case. But now that we are looking at the bigger picture, we could implement full-fledged accessibility support whe…
Good to hear it's on the roadmap!

#19Curious about how concurrent edits work. In, say, Figma, two users can simultaneously each create a text box and type into it. In my naive understanding of how Hyperbeam works, the remote Chrome instance would be receiving two streams of input events. Would those streams be interleaved, resulting in typing going to the wrong text box for one user? Or is there a different approach?
