Screen Pop is a multiplayer screen sharing app that lets you work together like you’re in the same room. Unlike videoconferencing tools that are designed for presentation, Pop lets everyone participate through multiplayer drawing & control.

For everybody else wondering what happened with ScreenHero inside of Slack and why Jahanzeb ended up building another ScreenHero but calling it "Screen" instead, this excerpt says it all: "In 2015, Slack acquired ScreenHero, and I led the team that built Slack Calls: voice, video and screen sharing in Slack. We finally shipped interactive screen sharing almost three years later, but it wasn’t as performant as ScreenHero, and was eventually removed in 2019. Given that it was used by a tiny fraction of Slack’s user-base, and had a high maintenance cost, this was the correct decision for Slack." https://www.notion.so/Screen-Mak... For the record, we were avid users of ScreenHero but I dislike Slack for it's chaos and distraction so when ScreenHero was acquired we lost one of our most beloved tools. I couldn't be happier that Jahanzeb decided to build the standalone tool that so many of us non-Slack people wanted and needed. THANKS!

Great app! The only downside is they need to download the app to share screen where other solutions use built-in browser functionality. That is a deal-breaker for me.

We are testing now. We have team in LA, SF, Turkey and Ghana. We were using microsoft teams and mostly zoom. I can say Screen is way better than zoom...

@jsherwani it seems you rush this ( totally understandable in todays situatuion) ,there are few super low hanging fruits if you do it, you can leap head. currently you nail the voice quality , (for europe , turkey, ghana, mexico it works better then teams, slack, zoom, whatsapp, facetime, wechat business for sure ), there are very few small urgent things, you need to add. please reach on linkedin i will quickly write them for you. https://www.linkedin.com/in/sahi...

This is awesome. Congratulations J! Very exciting to see the return of ScreenHero with simple yet powerful new tricks. Character-by-character ephemeral messaging is a **brilliant** design decision.

@zakmandhro Thank you, Zak! 🙏I'm so glad you wrote, and love that you caught that simple detail! 🙌Our main goal is to minimize the time between an idea going from my head to yours, and it's amazing how quickly that happens if you see just a few letters being typed! We need to do a better job of setting expectations correctly, but yes, I'm excited to see how users respond 😄

I still remember become paid user on screenhero during 2014 and get all my clients on board, really sad when slack acquired and later closing down, hopefully this won't disappoint.
