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

Yeah, that's one way of looking at it: a multiplayer Mighty app that you can iframe into your own website.

In terms of how we're different, Mighty focuses on performance while we focus on collaboration.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Huh, those both mention the same app as inspiration. Neat.

Yeah, Rabbit was incredible. They just had issues monetizing and it died .. heh.

We originally started out as a Rabbit alternative :)

(We rebranded from Tutturu to Hyperbeam last year)

Is there a tutorial that I can check out to understand this better?

If you're looking for a demo of the API specifically, you can check out the demo video on https://hyperbeam.dev.

If you're looking to try out the embedded web browsers, you can check out our watch party site https://hyperbeam.com, create an account, create a room, and then start up a multiplayer web browser! However, it only shows off a subset of the functionality of the API.

Finally, you can view our API documentation here if you prefer: https://showy-backpack-b3f.notion.site/Hyperbeam-API-eb9874b...

To add to what Declan said, our original watch party product is still online here: https://hyperbeam.com

I've created a room and I can personally give you a demo :)

Curious 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?

Yes, the streams would be interleaved.

I'll created an instance you can play around with here:

The documentation link in OP has a typo. Here's the fixed link: https://showy-backpack-b3f.notion.site/Hyperbeam-API-eb9874b...

Theneo also converted our Notion documentation to a Stripe-like doc page — please let us know what you all prefer!
