Show HN: I built a video chat app so classmates could do HW and study together

Hey students! I need your feedback.

I've built an app that allows you to do homework and study together with your classmates via live video.

Unlike Discord's study rooms, you are behind a virtual frosted glass that makes you feel comfortable being on the live video.

Use it to never do homework alone! Hang out with your clasmates together when studying, help each other while doing homework. Studying alone sucks, so don't.

Please check it out and tell me what do you think!

That blur is a really nice touch! As a lonely but somewhat private person I would have no trouble using this app!

Will let you know once I boot into windows (but I'll still need a test partner right? or is there a bot on the other side?)

Thanks :-). I'll video chat with you when I boot into Windows this weekend.

Okay, great! I'll try to be live for as long as possible. See you there, then! :-)

Yep, you'll need a test partner. Invite a friend. :-)

So I was really eager to try it out myself, and I did boot into windows but I'm stuck at https://imgur.com/a/HdrYsdZ for 2 hours and even after reboot somehow the situation remains same ... :-(.

Anyway, good luck. I hope your product succeeds because it such a thoughtfully nice touch and might be useful for people like me.

Wondering if you'd be creating a Linux port anytime, maybe on steam if piracy is an issue ...

It seems, you've an issue with Microsoft Store in your Windows. Too bad. I'd love to hear your feedback on the app. Thank you for the kind words! Maybe you'll try downloading the app again in the future... That'd be great! Even though creating a Linux version of the app is almost the same effort as cretaing a new app from scratch, I hope I'll do that one day.

I'd love to use it too! Looking forward to an android/linux version, or to having a better luck with Windows :-)
