Pop is a very similar product.

Pop is one of my favorite founding stories. Slack acquihires a multi-cursor product, kills it, never builds the feature. Noncompete expires, original acquihire founders use their acquihire money to buy a $1.5M vanity domain, bootstrap a replica of their old acquihired product, feature freeze, and just provide a stable and reliable product - one that we use every day. Pop is amazing.

Pop co-founder here. It warms my heart to hear this. Thank you for the appreciation!
Pop doesn’t seem to have been updated in years, what’s going on?
Is there a way to use Pop solo across multiple machines, so I can drive Xcode on my Mac from my PC, or drive Visual Studio on my PC from my Mac, and also sometimes have others join in?
you can join existing meeting, just tested that in browser + desktop app
Does that still work in a remote-style scenario (where the other machine isn't necessarily next to you and you want to remote join your own session without needing to manually click a button on the other machine)?
While it's likely not the answer you're looking for, I've had a colleague walk their in-law through starting Pop on their home machine while traveling, so they could remote in!
How’s traction with Pop? Love the landing page with the animated cursor that gives a preview of what the product does!
Hey jsherwani—congrats on the awesome product! Would love to catch up if you're up for it :D
