n/m not sure how i missed it in tfa.. i do remember trying it at the time and it had a similar mixed response from people, but mostly negative.

Isn't this a dupe of SceneTap from a decade+ ago?

Congrats on 5.0 - CoScreen has been an integral part of our team's daily workflow for the last couple of years, and it's been wonderful to to be able to share feedback and see the product evolve into a better and better tool.

Having to share screens occasionally via Zoom feels so slow and clunky by comparison to the single-click ability for multiple people to share and interact with windows concurrently as the conversation flows. Can't imagine going back!

I've been hosting my email on my own server since the 90s, but got tired of dealing with keeping up with spam filters. Updated the MX to deliver inbound to mailroute.net and have them do the filtering before forwarding to my server and that's been working great for years. Not free, but not expensive and still gives me 99% of the control i want with very good spam filtering too.

Outbound mail is relayed via mailroute too, which solves the tainted IP delivery problem.

Every day, and it's still very reliable and works very well for me; i hope it continues to run, though it would be nice for Zoom to make a strong statement around it.

I note the Keybase github repos continue to receive updates too, so it's not like it's dead.

CoScreen has been great for our engineering standups, truly collaborative development and debugging etc; it's just removes so much friction for distributed teams

This has been a really great addition to our workflow for many months now as it's gone through beta - It's become the default place to have standups etc as it just makes working together so much easier than individually sharing windows via Zoom.

While unfortunate, this is a really great, transparent summary posted in a very timely manner. A bonus that I learned something about the sharp edges of Cloudfront in the process which may serve me well later.

I've been using the beta version for the past few months, and it's really been great to see the progress made - Adding thumbnailed webcam feeds of participants was a nice addition and means it can replace Zoom for many of our engineering meetings - Everyone can interact with whatever application(s) are being shared, reducing the "it's your turn to share the screen" or "can you click that button on the top right" friction - Anyone can interact with anything being shared.

Definitely recommend checking it out if you're working on a distributed team.

(no connection to the company, other than being an enthusiastic beta tester :-) )

I had a Dell 38" ultrawide that I loved, but it did not survive a cross-country move so I just replaced it with a Philips 499P9H 49" ultrawide - 5120x1440 - Really the same dimensions as two 27" monitors side by side, but without a center seam

So far, I really like it - But getting it to work at full resolution with my 2013 Mac Pro has been frustrating - It essentially cannot be done at full resolution with a single cable, unless you boot into Windows (also true for Mac Minis, but apparently newer Macbook Pros can drive it) - Despite what you may read, hacks such as SwitchResX will not help here; it's a limitation of the Mac's video card drivers that Apple seem uninterested in addressing.

The "solution", for me, has to drive it using two identical Mini Displayport->HDMI cables as if it were two screens and then have MacOS treat it as a single space. Using identical ports/cables has meant the color temperature on both halves is identical and i cannot tell it is not being driven as a single display, other than the fact the menu bar is only on one half of the screen.

Aside from that, it would be nice it were higher resolution, but the older I get, the less my eyes notice and the extra width is more useful than the DPI.

If you've used Cmd-C to copy something to the clipboard, pbpaste is really useful to pipe the clipboard contents into a pipe or to a file (pbcopy being the inverse)
