There used to be an app called ScreenHero, which did. this, and it was really great. For some reason Slack bought it and killed it, but I think it validated the use case

First, as employee number one at Screenhero…thank you for the kind words :D I'm immensely proud of the tech we built there.
Second, if you liked Screenhero, you're going to love CoScreen. Instead of sharing one computer's entire desktop, CoScreen lets each participant share their own windows onto everyone else's computer, effectively creating a shared desktop. It's pretty magical.

That was not clear from the landing page at all, but if you describe it like that it sounds pretty impressive.

Yep. ScreenHero was the absolute bomb for a remote-only company like the one I worked at at the time. A sad day indeed when Slack pulled a MS/Skype on it.

I was a huge ScreenHero fan, and will never forgive Slack for killing it

After Slack acquired screenhero but before they killed it, i actually convinced my employer to get a paid slack in part because it was the only way then to get screenhero. then they killed it shortly after we did that. oops.
