1gb of ram for an IRC client.... I don't know... :|
That's what happens when you bundle an entire web browser
Someone has to eat all your ram and wreck battery life tho!

#72I can't believe it took them over two years to integrate this.

> Slack: please keep the stand-alone ScreenHero until you make the integrated one have the same performance. Given the shitty performance of the Slack desktop client (which basically only does IRC with gifs and emoji), I'm not too confident in their ability to improve the performance of, well, anything.

Try out eul:
It's a native desktop client for Slack, Skype, Slack, Facebook, etc. It's only 4 MB, it has minimal CPU usage, and it can handle hundreds of thousands of messages without lag.

#75I wish this was forked instead of killed. Everytime I use Screenhero, it has been butter smooth. I would be ready to pay $3/month for screenhero standalone or a pay-per-use. I'm not interested in Slack, the use cases are clearly different. I think Slack missed or rather killed an opportunity here, they could have kept Screenhero (and use it to upsell Slack) and also integrated it in Slack. Not only that but it took t…
Have you tried Discord? It's geared towards gamers but it's got most of the features we needed from Slack. More info: https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/11500098275...
I think they don't let other people take over your screen the way ScreenHero does though?

I have to +1 this. I use it to communicate with my son, who resisted my efforts to get him to reply to my emails (since youngsters hate email, apparently) or join a family slack.

i wonder if screenhero's smoothness had anything to do with it being stuck in invite-only limbo. when you have tight control on how many people are using your app, you don't really have to solve infrastructure scaling problems yet.
It wasn't P2P? Yikes...
Re: Screen sharing in Slack, made interactive via Screenhero acquisition (YC W13)
#78Really disappointing news, rolling Screenhero into Slack doesn't solve the same problem at all. I work for myself and have a large contact list of people who don't know each other who I often pair with or screenshare with. With Slack, there's really no way for me to create the same setup. I'd need to create a new team called "Adam's Screenhero Contacts", invite all of my contacts (who don't know each other) to be par…
I think single channel guests would work?

#79I use screenhero daily for work and I am incredibly sad to see it go, even though we all knew this day was coming. It hits even harder for me since my company just moved us off of slack due to their lack of hippa compliance and cost issues, so not only is the standalone screenhero gone, I've lost the ability to use it in slack too. Does anyone have a good suggestion for an alternative?
You mean HIPAA? Assuming so, what were the issues?

"Smooth as butter", "smoother than butter", "butter smooth", et al is a common western phrase. It's as old or older than the King James Bible itself (Psalms 55:21 if you're curious). It's a quintessential English idiom.
Thank you, that's fascinating! Psalm 55:21 King James Version (KJV) 21. The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
While this is true idomatically,
there was also a 'Project Butter' designed to make Android 'Buttery Smooth' a few years back - I think the high level of application of this idiom to video rendering specifically took hold at that point..
