Open Source HTML5 Screen Sharing: Share your screen, right from your browser
Hello,
I have developed a google chrome extension which allow you share your browser screen with anyone right from your browser.
http://deadsimplescreensharing.com
Please give me your feedback, and help me in improving this app.
- msalahat 14y agoGreat Idea. I have just tested it ,I followed the steps but it keeps giving me "No Connection" on the other side! is there anything else I need to do?
- pilooch 14y agoclickable http://http://deadsimplescreensharing.com/ http://http://deadsimplescreensharing.com/ Haven'tried. Suggested fix: on http://deadsimplescreensharing.com/#tutorial http://deadsimplescreensharing.com/#tutorial Comming Up -> Coming up
- mlakkadshaw 14y agoSorry, I will fix the typo.
- mlakkadshaw 14y agoPlease tell me if anyone is facing delay or latency issues. Thanks
- drivebyacct2 14y agoHTML5 make it sound like something that can be done cross browser, rather than something via the chrome.* apis for their extensions. That having been said, I've read about something of the sort related to WebRTC, Chrome seems to be interested in making in possible at least: http://blog.chromium.org/2012/04/chromes-webrtc-roadmap.html http://blog.chromium.org/2012/04/chromes-webrtc-roadmap.html
- mlakkadshaw 14y agoTo make it work across various tabs i needed something running in the background that's reason for using chrome apis. Thanks.
- vovafeldman 14y agoNot working for me, I'm getting "No Connection" screen :(
- mlakkadshaw 14y agoTry scrolling or changing tabs while sharing is on. It updates the screen on scroll, tab changed and Dom updates
- jackmaney 14y agoSo am I. Changing tabs or scrolling had no effect.
- benbro 14y agoIs the extension code open sourced? I only see the server code on github.
- mlakkadshaw 14y agoOh, I forgot to upload the extension code on github, I will do it tomorrow.
- Johnyma22 14y agoHi from the Etherpad team :)
- mlakkadshaw 14y agoWhat are your views about this app?
- Johnyma22 14y agoI did some work for Mozilla on a HTML5 browser sharer: https://github.com/JohnMcLear/browsermirror https://github.com/JohnMcLear/browsermirror -- Not sure how well supported it nowadays, kinda old project. Your extension brings my browser to a really slow pace.
- mlakkadshaw 14y agoI will into it and update the extension. Thanks
- jpinkerton88 14y agoIt's working for me, but it is really slow. Like showing up a minute later. Seems like it would be awesome and useful when not so latent.
- mlakkadshaw 14y agoThe Latency is because I am running it on Heroku 1 Dyno instance. If someone donates some money, I will transfer the app to EC2.
- prakster 14y agoHi Muhammad, If you want to stand out in the overcrowded screensharing space, build this one feature: Allow me to send a URL to anyone so I can see THEIR screen instantly, without them having to download crap. You will become an instant 'crorepati' :-)
- mlakkadshaw 14y agoThanks, but to build this feature there must be something running in the background, which will send data to the server. There is already a App which does this thing but it's a Java applet. http://quickscreenshare.com/ http://quickscreenshare.com/ BTW: I don't want to make money from this app, it's just something I did on a weekend. :)
- benbro 14y agoCan you share only the browser tab or even what happens on your desktop? Does it use VNC?
- mlakkadshaw 14y agoYou can only share the browser tab, and not the desktop.
- dbond 14y agoHave you looked into using webRTC for the stream transfer and using the server only for signalling? Not sure if these apis are available within extensions but this would make the server much cheaper to run.
- wilhil 14y agoWas anyone able to visit this site? I still have a tab open thinking that it was just brought offline through traffic... but just refreshed and still can't get on :/
