Amazing to see you here.
Folks looking for Linux support, check out J's work!

Fingers crossed this time. Leave an issue on the repo if you have any specific wishes/distros to support or also want to contribute. Most of Petal is OS agnostic so it would be at least easier than ever to make it happen

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.

Worked great for me. Think about integrating the /counselors skill so you can fan out complex questions to multiple hq models across Opus, Gemini, and Codex. We're using it to do extensive design/performance/SEO audits that benefit from multiple smart opinions.

Nice, do you have any plans to also support other image styles?

Fascinating, thanks for the detailed context. We'll look into it!

That's the main tag for our blog posts and the 'Home' link comes from our Ghost template but I get your confusion

True - if you share your window or display on CoScreen, you can decide if you also want to share remote control or not. It’s a global toggle for all the windows you share. Also, only users who have the invite to your CoScreen (and therefore have a secure token to get into it) and are with you in it at that moment, would be able to type into your window if you allowed that.

Point taken, it's on our roadmap...

Yes, you're pretty much scaling the video while retaining its aspect ratio. We're doing that so users can't interfere with each other's setup (it was different early on and annoying).

We're planning to charge for active users in larger teams and to have a gracious tier for casual users like in your case. We do have many teams that use it for trainings and even interviews and we'd be interested if it works for you too.

Point taken, we're thinking about focusing on active users but open to feedback as we outline the model. Feel free to reach out

Big fans! Jitsi powers a large part of our backend.

See our separate comment on SSO through Okta, this is actually available out of the box through login with Datadog and we've corrected the pricing page. Thanks again for the pointer.
We'd like to keep CoScreen affordable for those teams and are planning to factor it into the pricing model once we put one in place. Drop me a mail if you have specific requirements ([email protected]).

Good catch, this got actually much easier for us to do recently as you can now sign in with SSO through Datadog. So if you sign up to Datadog with any SSO provider, you should be able to login to CoScreen with just two clicks. We corrected that on our pricing page as well.

We have not tried Unity ourselves but would be eager learn more about the use case. We've heard from a few users who use it to play games together.
Because the sharing approach is video-based, it can stream any kind of content, no matter if text or moving images. That being said, it takes some resources to shovel 4k images with a lot of changes from A to B so it needs some free capacity to run smoothly.

Thanks for the feedback. We have a few Zoom-converts and here's what they've told us they like about CoScreen:
1. Every user has their own mouse pointer instead of sharing the same.
2. You can share bi-directionally, so not just one at a time.
3. More importantly, if I share two or three windows with you, they appear as three separate native windows for you and you can resize and position them as you like without interfering with me instead of being stuck in a black box.
