I love Hyperbeam! Such a good name. You guys definitely have the best name out of all the remote embeddable browser co-browsing products. I've also got embeddable multiplayer web browsers you can stick in an iframe at https://dosyago.com and an instant demo live now at https://freebrowsers.dosyago.com plus there's also an source-available version on GitHub at https://GitHub.com/crisdosyago/Viewfinder And I also appli…

Thanks! That name took a lot of thinking for sure :D Good luck for YC, and don't give up if you get rejected, it took us three tries to get in haha. We don't use VNC, we send an H.264 stream over WebRTC. Also, checked out your demo, and it seems you use VNC?

Hehe, why would you think my demo uses VNC? It doesn't look anything like that. VNC always displays a real browser in a desktop like environment, like Hyperbeam looks like. VF just shows the viewport of each tab, the actual browser controls are clearly custom, and they're on the client. I'm so puzzled you thought mine was VNC! :D ...I guess you're maybe using https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen_Capt... / getDisplayMedia (maybe with an extension to enable permissions for the full desktop) to create the video stream.

Anyway, yours is cool. I actually just capture the remote tab viewport and stream over websocket or WebRTC checking whichever is faster.

3 times is impressive. But I think I beat you there: I've applied to YC like every batch since 2015 with a variety of ideas the last couple with the browser stuff. I think they're never going to let me in. They just hate me. I don't have the creds (no fancy college, no CS degree, no connections)...I live in Asia. And I'm solo founder. :)

Haha, I don't think I'll stop applying tho maybe :D

Edit: here's a login link for multiplayer on one demo server: https://demo-vfp-us-iowa.dosyago.com:8002/login?token=bhvNDh...

Your demo video won't play: "Video can't be played because the file is corrupt."

Weird, it's working for me? What browser are you using?

We would love an API key at https://color.museum to experiment with using Hyperbeam to enable collaborative art (ie. through our https://color.museum/gallery ) Looking forward to it! Thank you.

On my latest mobile safari I’m getting a blank screen. How come?

More like a dystopian hell where the rich literally own the colours of nature and charge poor people for using them.
