I'm sorry about this — it's difficult to strike a balance between preventing abuse and respecting user privacy. If anyone here is facing attacks, we're available to hop in a call any time.
I'm sorry that you've been negatively affected by hyperbeam.com. I'd be happy to discuss the abuse you're experiencing, and what we can do to help.
We try our best to discourage hyperbeam.com as an ad-hoc proxy — the goal of the product is to provide hassle-free watch parties.

Theneo also converted our Notion documentation to a Stripe-like doc page — please let us know what you all prefer!
We'll try to keep the discussion in the HN thread though :)
I'll created an instance you can play around with here:

I've created a room and I can personally give you a demo :)

In terms of how we're different, Mighty focuses on performance while we focus on collaboration.
They're actively in development and the maintainer is friendly.

Thank you for stressing the importance of accessibility. We're really impressed with the quality of the questions so far.
> But now that we are looking at the bigger picture, we could implement full-fledged accessibility support where we serialize the accessibility tree and send that over instead of the video stream.
What are your thoughts on this approach?
> Have you considered the accessibility ramifications of this, e.g. for blind people using screen readers?
We are considering the accessibility ramifications now since we've pivoted toward a general API. We didn't focus on accessibility for blind people initially because we were building a watch party platform.
I think offering accessibility features would give us a massive edge against technologies like screenshare! Is there a specific use-case you're thinking of?
Love the video. How long did it take to make?
Neko is a self-hosted shared browser, which was built in response to a product called Rabb.it shutting down. Rabb.it had ~4 million MAUs and raised a series B before shutting down due to investors pulling out last-minute during their series C fundraising.
Rabb.it was focused on watch parties. There are a few reasons why shared browsing is more appealing than video sync and screenshare for this use case:
1. Screenshare requires good uplink—some people only have good download speeds
2. Some people are uncomfortable with sharing their screen, nobody likes being judged for their bookmark choices
3. Nobody acts as a "host", control can be passed around to anyone and people can leave whenever they want
In other words, you get the content variety of screenshare, but with the convenience of video sync.
And now for a shameless plug :)
Hyperbeam (formally Tutturu.tv) is a site I built in 2019 for my capstone project at the University of Waterloo. I built it because I wanted an easier way to watch anime with my friends, and decided to build something similar to Rabb.it. It's hosted and free! https://hyperbeam.com
I created multi party P2P audio/video chat in ~200 lines of code a while back, here it is: https://github.com/ScottyFillups/p2pchat (see room.js and all the files under client/)
Demo page is here: https://scottyfillups.io/p2pchat
You're welcome

That's what I consider the ruling class. Based on my rudimentary observations, I'm unsure whether such people truly want to impose some sort of order, or are just striving to maximize their quarterly revenue. Of course, there are exceptions like the CCP.
I'm a bit sleepy so I will be going to bed, good night o/
It was nice talking to you
I think that a loss in purpose is worse than a loss in material wealth. I'm a scrappy student working on a startup I believe in, and I would not trade places with the successful entrepreneur.
I have fun climbing mountains. So does he. I have plenty of mountains to climb, while he's surrounded by the fog and believes he has no other mountains to climb. Ergo, I'm having fun while he believes he'll never have fun again.
> That is an excellent point.
Thank you.
> Personally I cannot think of anything more boring than a meeting of the EU Parliament, the UN, US Congress, or the CCP.
I never stated they have good taste :P
In all seriousness, I wouldn't really consider politicians the ruling class. Now, I'm not an expert on this topic, but I'd wager that the billionaire entrepreneurs have more power than the US senators being paid a measly $200K/year. Suppose they have a little side-hustle and make 1M/year; that's still peanuts.
Besides, he's already demonstrated he's capable of flourishing when risks are present.
I don't think the space is that crowded; who do you think is legitimately trying to establish order? It seems like the majority of the western ruling class are a bunch of old people merely trying to have a bit of fun before they die.
