Anyone know how they're implementing the multiplayer video/voice chat? Is it over WebRTC or something else?
Opening up the console, it looks like they are using pusher.com

Re: Pitch: Collaborative presentation software for teams
#82Many people here asking for an example. Here's a real example of a pre-seed pitch deck that I'm using for my meetings with investors [1]. I'll explain why I like Pitch. I am a first time founder. I am a technical guy who have to be a jack-of-all-trades for the past 6 months. I am a type of guy who's really bad at designing slides. Leave me with PowerPoint or Google Presentation and you'll see the ugliest presentation…
Thanks for sharing the business logic for Pitch.
For your own startup, are you targeting a specific niche? Do you have any advantages in distribution besides the excellent HN top comment hack :)
Re: Pitch: Collaborative presentation software for teams
#83I'm super excited for Pitch. Since it's a web application I assume there will eventually be a public API, and ways to embed interactive media. I think this will be really powerful for events. Imagine if you had ONE master slide deck that had: - A slide for audience polling - A slide for a zoom call with one of your speakers - A slide that managed an icebreaker activity (like Kahoot) - A slide that tracked merch sales…

#85Earlier quoted context omitted.
As someone who makes startups and invests sometimes, I recommend you remove "Wrote 90% of code being a part-time cofounder." That would be a red flag.
Could you explain why that would be a red flag?
No one wants to invest in part-time entrepreneurs. This is a pitch deck, it should only show reasons to invest.

All it does is make me think that they aren't full time, and may not be committed. I also have questions about IP concerns.
These may not be serious issues, and they can be easily answered, but this statement is a distraction. You want your pitch deck to answer questions, not raise new ones.

#87As someone who does a lot of slides, mainly on Keynote and sometimes on PowerPoint, Pitch seems to be a similar kind of large, incremental upgrade when we moved from Sketch to Figma.
For example something as rudimentary as collaboration just barely works on Keynote (and requires files to be saved to iCloud to boot, which doesn't work for us at all). With Pitch you can just share a link and off you go. IIRC this also applies to Powerpoint: to collaborate you need to upload the documents to SharePoint/OneDrive. Google Slides can do this, but for weird some reason (like many of Google's online products) it just doesn't feel good to use.
That said, I have only worked on Pitch for hours so YMMV. Congrats on the launch!

Thx a lot for this explanation.
We're full time. It just started as a side-project

#89Must be amongst the largest public facing products that's all clojure/script..?
Reify Health's StudyTeam is ~100% Clojure + ClojureScript
Re: Pitch: Collaborative presentation software for teams
#90Seems like screen.so is a layer of abstraction above this?
That is, screen.so has all of these features, for any app you want, not just creating slides.
