24 alternatives to I saw this mind-blowing experiment, so I made a simple version of it
Two browser windows (acting as socket clients) communicate their: - Screen dimensions - (screen.width, screen.height) - Window dimensions - (window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight) - Window X/Y position - (window.screenX, window.screenY) ...or whichever calculation works best for you. The original work by Bjorn Staal https://twitter.com/_nonfigurativ_/status/172732259457002734 used localStorage, but I found sockets more fun, because if tweaked a bit, this can be shared with friends. Here's a demo of how it works and the codebase:…
This project enables two browser windows to communicate and share their screen and window dimensions, positions, and sizes through socket connections. It uses WebSocket technology instead of localStorage, allowing the… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

Seeing all the hype around Bolt.new, I decided to give it a try, and within just 30 minutes, I built a fully functional web app for screen sharing. How It Works: - One user opens a room and receives a unique code. - Participants join by simply entering the code to view the shared screen. After that initial build, I moved the project to Cursor to continue iterating and enhancing its features.

Good to be back on HN with all-new CoScreen, a little more than 3 years after it launched over here! With CoScreen 5.0, you can now share your windows from multiple displays at the same time, a long standing request by our most avid users and impossible in other apps. It also has a lightning-fast, Rust-based window compositing, scaling, and streaming engine now. CoScreen was always meant to be different so that you and your team can share your screens simultaneously and multi-directionally, and to be able to control what is being shared. We saw it as a natural extension and closely coupled…

Raybeam▲209Problem A few years ago I got my first ultra-wide monitor. It was a 49" Samsung monitor. I work as a software engineer, and in my line of work I need to screen share a lot. This almost immediately became a problem due to the size of the monitor. I would either need to get a second display just for screen sharing, share one window at a time (which required me to constantly stop/start sharing to select the new window), or share my entire screen making it difficult for other participants in the call to see what I'm doing due to the size of my display. I wanted a solution to this. At the…

I've posted this game here before, hopefully a repost is fine as the game has changed quite a bit (improved AI, improved mapeditor, much quicker gameplay, etc). Game is based on JavaScript/Canvas and WebSockets. On the browser side the map is pre-rendered (as a background image), just the mobile units/buildings and animations are dynamically rendered. The lobby server is made in node.js, but the game server is C++ for performance reasons (mainly the pathfinding). I found the C++ WebSocket libraries out there to be too difficult to use so I made my own based on the rfc. Overall I…
