Yeah, there's nothing wrong with being a sailor. It's more a fear of change — thinking you'll always enjoy painting, and then realizing there might be a day when the passion is gone.

I 100% agree that if TJ wants to retire from programming, he should. Pressuring him to do something he doesn't want to do is wrong. My comment more of a personal comment. Imagine you're an amateur painter, and you enjoy painting.

:( The idea of moving on from programming makes me sad. I suppose for some people it's a job, but to me giving up programming would be like giving up on writing poetry or playing music.

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad he's still posting. Back in university I looked up to Feross, TJ and Matt Deslauriers. Fond memories of hacking together a Node.js project at a hackathon and launching something on a free Heroku dyno.

Yeah we didn't anticipate somebody sharing their room in the comments — we're trying our best to moderate that room. Fingers crossed the board they went on was the papercraft & origami board.

Thanks! > I'm wondering what the killer app is? In the most optimistic way possible We're in the process of figuring it out, but we believe the interactive aspect is super powerful. Our landing page ( https://hyperbea

Yeah we kept the MVP lean and didn't add chat or audio/video calling. Our goal (which we're not meeting) is to keep the Three.js example line count below 200. https://github.com/hyperbeam/threejs-example

Hey hugs, just want to say Selenium is awesome. Super cool having the creator of the testing framework we used during university commenting on our post. Would love to learn more about the mobile test automation space, I'll send off an

That approach relies on an iframe to load 3rd party sites. Sadly, this won't work for a lot of websites like news.ycombinator.com. Furthermore, an iframe cannot be synchronized across participants. If you and I load YouTube in an ifram

Spoke to Amby, he said it might be because we throw away frequencies above 10 kHz. We'll try to fix the bug today, thanks again for catching this.

Thanks for pointing that out, we'll dig deeper. Also thanks for showing me glicol, I love dabbling with audio visualizers and often play around with the web audio API. Really cool that somebody made a DSL, I starred the project :)

Do you have a specific hotkey in mind? Curious if there's a hotkey we could choose which is intuitive, so we don't need to add more text in the 3D space.

We might open-source something in the future. Honestly we haven't open-sourced Hyperbeam because the code is a bit messy. In the mean time you can check out https://github.com/crybapp , we're partnered with them. H

Yep. We're running Chromium in the cloud and streaming it back as a video. When you visit https://threejs-example.hyperbeam.com , it will create a "room" and append the room ID to the URL (e.g. https://t

You can actually get it to work if you run it locally. The problem is that the demo requires WebGL, and the servers we're handing out don't support WebGL. See the "webgl" parameter here: https://docs.hyperbeam

We're not using puppeteer in the background, but people have asked for puppeteer support. Do you use browserless.io? We think they do a great job and don't see a point competing with them. Would appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks for pointing that out, we just shipped the docs "playground" system and it appears there's a few bugs — you'll need to use something like cURL in the meantime. Here's a snippet you can start with: curl -X POS

Thank you so much for pointing that out, I'll fix that ASAP. Also, this is a bit of a tangent but my first name has one "L". My mother named me after the Philippines and I'm of Scottish descent on my father's side.

Thanks. We started out as a watch party website ( https://tutturu.tv ) to watch anime with friends, so it should handle video very well. The watch party website is still up here: https://watch.hyperbeam.com
