What it does

Work jointly with the help of the reliable platform Surfly. If you have to collaborate with your colleagues on a mutual project, you can share your screen, video chat, share files and a lot more. And you can be sure everything is securely encrypted for your and your files safety.

Surfly’s co-browsing software lets users interact on any website in real time. Fast, private, and easy to use without downloads or plugins.

Add collaborative features to any website, platform or app, right now. No code needed. Or build your own collaborative user journeys, in minutes instead of months. Over 3.000+ organizations use Surfly to collaborate digitally with users, customers and prospects, already. They claim to offer ‘universal’ co-browsing, but it only works on your website. And only after you’ve added a bunch of JavaScript code. It’s often just screen sharing in disguise. Not very universal at all. With Surfly, you get co-browsing and collaborative web interaction on steroids. The end-user experience is so frictionless, people usually won’t even realize they’ve switched to a Surfly co-browsing session. Phone calls,…from surfly.com

    I built a Windows tool to solve a problem I kept running into during live coding interviews and proctored assessments. I wanted to keep reference notes or personal apps open on my own screen without exposing them to the interviewer or screen-share software. Cloakly hides specific windows from the screen-share stream while keeping them fully visible locally. It works with Zoom, Teams, Meet, Loom, and most proctoring tools. Right now the core engine works, and I'm looking for beta testers to help with edge cases before the public release. Would love feedback from anyone who regularly…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
