    Screenhero co-founder/CEO here — this is really great! It looks like we had similar feelings after leaving our acquiring companies with our products being sunset.Since leaving Slack, I've been building Pop with a new team. The first product we launched in 2020 is essentially Screenhero 2.0 (pop.com). Since then, we've been building an expanded product: a virtual office for remote teams, which is now almost ready for launch (there's a waitlist at https://new.pop.com). We've even got Wayland support in! We have plans to open source a part of the Wayland piece, which Petal could potentially use too.I do love this space, and wish more tools were about live collaboration — it feels so much more human and fun than single-player mode. I hope Petal becomes a growing community that thrives for the long haul!

    Thank you for this, I am a big fan of pair programming, and even jetbrains is getting rid of their code-with-me service! It’s so Frustrating to see a useful feature/tool get abandoned due to low usage. But those of us who use pair programming absolutely love it :)It’s a tool that helps further human connection, imo. And we could all use a little more of that atm.

    Till here, another co-founder of CoScreen. Like Jason wrote, our launches on HN and the feedback by many of you in 2019 were really important all the way back to the earliest days of our small and fancy tool. We did a lot of things since we're proud of but a few plans remained unfulfilled, like support for Linux, until now.We'd love to work with you and see what you'll build, now that Petal is out in the open for anyone to use, jam on, and make it your own.

    Reminds me of Tuple (https://tuple.app/), which was also billed as a Screenhero replacement

    This is just what we need in our small startup. It solves problems we have when working remotely and joint debugging along with walking our customers through tricky issues. Can't wait to give it a spin

    I really wonder if it’s just me, but I have a deeply visceral reaction to AI copywriting that is largely irrational I’m willing to admit.> The media server — traffic stays yoursThe product looks cool! It’s just… reading that sentence makes me __immediately__ lose all interest.

    Thanks for making this. We used co-screen so much that when you shut down, we had to build our own.

    Will give it a try! How is LiveKit working for you in terms of achieving low input2video latency? Did it lend itself to getting tuned for this application?

    Thank you for your work, looking forward to the Linux version!
