   After 6 years of working on two open source projects full time (16k and 10k GitHub stars) I decided to close off issues and discussions. GitHub has a nice checkbox you can untick to remove that tab and I did it. It's a thankless job, o

   This is actually groundbreaking technology. If this gets widely deployed and then evolves we're looking at telepresence as the next step in ambient computing. When the technology fades into the background that's when you know thin

   You can basically do anything with an Apache 2.0 licensed project and that's the point of this entire industry revolt. AWS is basically picking up prominent projects and hosting them for profit with little to no interaction with the en

   Having just seen JBD from AWS mention now working on this project full time my complete assumption is that AWS will offer it as a service and this isn't possible if the licensing goes in the direction of blocking commercialisation. Sin

   It's inevitable that we'll see many of these as open source projects along with the cloud providers own "multi-cloud" solutions that pin the control plane to their own platforms. This is the holy grail of hybrid solution

   All of the most important software of our lifetime is going through this relicensing effort as the creators attempt to capture the value of what it enables. This is not some nefarious plan to screw over the community. It's a very measu

   Been there. Dreamed that. Built my ideal experience -> https://m3o.com Honestly I've spent the better part of a decade talking about these things and if only someone would solve it or I had the resources to do it myself.

    The key thing to understand is async doesn't replace sync. There is still the need for human connection, they is still the need for synchronous comms. It just turns out one flat medium of either text or video on their own don't wo

    Might be a react based issue. Can't say we're actively trying to break it. Doesn't appear to be an issue in chrome.

    I think the difference here is that we're audio/video first. The goal is to get on video and chat with text inline so you can share links and content thats relevant to the conversation. Video being a small bubble gives you user pr

    Thanks! It was two things. We found that we were sharing links and content in slack while using video so it played a central role to communication rather than being an after thought like in zoom. It means we can do shared whiteboard and oth

    Distributed combines text, audio and video in one place. Text plays a central role just as it does in slack. It's how we share links or interesting content. In things like zoom it's an after thought. The difference with our audio&

    If you see the screenshot on the landing page you'll notice the layout. It's laid out like slack but includes audio/video bubbles in the room. The idea is that we don't really want to spend a lot of time staring at each

    Thanks for that feedback. It's a real app as opposed to just a landing page so maybe the goal would be to push people to the actual landing page https://joindistributed.com so they learn more and want to signup.
