Hey, one of the makers here! Super excited about the love we've received already!
Just for some context, @vincentdtian, @kooonaal, and I got together over break, and wanted to make this for Vincent (in a long-distance relationship, wanted to watch movies with gf) and also for all the plug.dj/turntable.fm fans out there!
This is my new favorite thing. Reminiscent of turntable.fm (RIP 👻). Nice hunt, @danlev.
Notice how the background of the site plays a video from one of the rooms. Nice detail.
Join me in the Belieber channel.
Would love to be able to have that kind of functionality with streaming sites such as Netflix - same reasoning (watching tv in a long distance relationship). Any plans to expand beyond YouTube?
@nitifromboston Hey Niti! We looked into it briefly, but Netflix doesn't have a public API (they shuttered it about a year ago), so we didn't build it out for this version. I'm sure we can find a way though ;)
Report
@iamwillkim@nitifromboston Checkout Netflix Party and Showgoers. This will be a nice addition to those options!
needs to be an app in messenger. hard to know if a friend is already available to watch a video with you at the same time? can this work asynchroniously?
@ourielohayon Hey Ouriel! Thanks for trying it out! This doesn't work asynchronously within rooms, because otherwise, we thought that'd be pretty much the same as sharing the youtube link. But maybe not! What's your thinking behind asynchronous ShareTube?
@iamwillkim don t think so. most youtube videos (at least the popular one) at crowded with and endless list of comments. some have comments closed....you want to get this cleared out and have a more "intimate" way to exchange on a video.
Congratulations to @vincentdtian, @kooonaal and @iamwillkim ! I know atleast a dozen coders (including me) who wanted to code an app like this.
I would love to read an article about the development and the stack.
This might also be something for code4startups, @leotrieu
