   Point taken, we only have a raw windows prototype so far.

   Great idea! We'll follow-up. Also thanks for the hint, we'll use it as a starting point for Linux

   Absolutely, it's already end to end encrypted but good point on metadata...

   Exactly - all your windows on your screen to be specific, so e.g. not your desktop background or files on your desktop. We're considering adding the ability to pick individual windows but feedback welcome...

   Thanks for your feedback. We felt that it's hard to get the concept across without showing both clients. But thanks again for the input, we'll show the real interactions more prominently.

   Thanks for sharing! It's true that CoScreen works best with multiple screens but it also works with just one screen (details in a comment on this thread). Tmate is indeed awesome as long as you're working within Terminal.

   Thanks for your feedback, we'll fix that asap...

    Thanks both - here's how it works: 1. CoScreen captures each of your window to be shared individually. 2. It sends them across in a combined video feed per user with window positions & sizes. 3. On the receiving end, it creates act

    Great question - here's how it works: If you only have one display (e.g. while you're on the run) it can still share the windows on this desktop but you can share/unshare all of them with a single click on the display icon ne

    Even with CoScreen you only share screens/windows when you want to. You can go online/offline with a tap of a button and in any case it only shares windows on a display you choose.

    Good point, we had thought about it but wondered if users would find it. But we'll look into it based on your feedback...

    Thanks for the question. It was honestly a close call and we knew we couldn't do both at the same time (this is a side project). The reasons where: 1. Our personal devices were Macs at the time we started. 2. We felt that the first use

    True, just in this case we just went with Mac because we used it personally. Windows might actually have been easier because macOS gets increasingly restrictive (e.g. with Catalina). Nevertheless, glad we made it and we'll do our best

    Yes unfortunately and yet only for now. We just started with Mac (coin toss) and now we'll do our best to cover all of them soon.

    Would love to know that as well ;) Our hunter had signed up to our private beta launched via Product Hunt Upcoming and that's how we got connected.

    Thanks for your question! Afaik Vectera runs in your browser and focuses on sharing what's in it. CoScreen lives on OS-level so you can share and interact with any native window, browser or not. They also don't seem to support mul

    Thanks a lot for the kind words! Great question, CoScreen shows shared windows based on their relative positions and sizes. So they appear in the same way for all participants. If there are huge difference between resolutions, the users wil

    Thanks! It goes through a central server so it can make it through corporate firewalls. This adds latency unfortunately but makes it more reliable for folks behind strange proxies and scales better for >2 users. But in any case, we'

    Agreed! Soon CoScreen's UI controls will get hidden automatically so you won't see anything but shared windows.

    OP here, we believe that the time has come to let remote workers and highly agile teams get stuff done together in a very different and much more natural way. CoScreen is a remote collaboration tool that enables exactly that. Problem: Prett
