Try it live right now: https://www.beatsync.gg/ The idea is that with no additional hardware, you can turn any group of devices into a full surround sound system. MacBook speakers are particularly good. Inspired by Network Time Protocol (NTP), I do clock synchronization over websockets and use the Web Audio API to keep audio latency under a few ms.

Hey HN, I want to share with you something I and my four colleagues have been working on for the last several years. It’s a whiteboarding and notes tool called Muse[1].

Signage Sync▲11Hi guys, I'm sharing something I've been tinkering on for a while: https://signagesync.app/ Like Google Chromecast, but "cast" to multiple screens at once.

Also works with local network, e.g. http://192.168.../sales-dashboard It's still early (MVP), but already usable—and I'd love to hear your feedback. Tech stack: SvelteKit, WebSocket, Flutter (desktop)
