For the CoScreen team, I'm curious how the existing competition (https://tuple.app/ https://tuple.app/, https://screen.so/ https://screen.so/) factors in to your decision to build/position this - do you believe you have a different vision than they do? Features they can't match? A better team that will out-execute? Out-market?
Startup founders are often told not to launch a product that has direct competitors already, so I'm curious to hear your take!
- cphajduk 6y agoI've heard the opposite advice. Don't worry about competitors, worry about making your product the best it can possibly be (which if successful would be better than competitors).
- DEGoodmanWilson 6y agoScreenhero engineer here, and currently working with CoScreen. TBH, Tuple adn Screen both seek to re-create Screenhero (and do an amazing job of that!) CoScreen, while using similar technology, has completely rethought the UI from the ground up, and is a huge step forward that the others are going to have a hard time catching up with. Instead of one person sharing their screen, with CoScreen, each participant can share individual windows into a shared environment that feels as natural as native windows. It's a fundamentally different vision for how to do remote collaboration.
- hypermachine 6y agoTech question: do you plug in to the native compositing UI system or do you have your own cross-platform UI compositing code?
- thedracle 6y agoWe use a custom native compositor on both of the current supported operating systems.
