@jsherwani ScreenHero changed my life, so I was gutted to find out it was going to be sunset post-Slack acquisition. Its resurrection as Screen brought me life and I’ve been using it with my team — brings back memories 🥰 All I have to say is thank you for building such a robust, intuitive product.

?makers Did you raise any funding for this? Any thoughts about potential social/teen (mis)uses for the product that I think are inevitable? Remarkably snappy app for a two-person team. We wrote about it here https://techcrunch.com/2020/03/2...

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!

Nice job on the install experience. Super smooth and great attention to detail re: the mac permissions walkthrough. Best of all the apps that require this that I've seen. I really respect the limited scopes you ask for with Slack integration too -- that shows an attention to detail at all levels. Thank you! My only tiny tiny nit on the onboarding is I think I lost the tutorial midway through (maybe). It was walking me through "draw mode" and then I saw I could toggle that mode and "cursor mode" (?) so I clicked that and the little tutorial help bubble went away. The app is so straight forward I'm not really worried about missing whatever might have been left, but... I never saw it =P Great work, and also good job on the pricing model. We also made our product free for the foreseeable future due to the COVID-19 outbreak, though I think you communicated it much better than we did in our launch last week. 😁

Congrats on the launch! Amazing product, great onboarding, very slick experience. Wishing you every success!

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...

We're early users of Screen and love it. It's super quick to get on a call with my team and the point and click co-browsing makes explaining things remotely a breeze. Excited for this!!

Hey @jsherwani, amazing product. Will send to our team to check it out. Let me know if you need some customer support solution.

We use screen for pair programming, and it's really terrific! (Thanks so much for supporting Linux as a first-class platform.) I'm a big fan of "future of work" applications that make creative use of video. I regularly talk to people who were devoted ScreenHero users and who feel like they have never found another tool to replace it. This is a big day for that community of power users, and for everyone else, too, like me, who missed the original ScreenHero revolution. Nice article, @joshconstine !

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.

Have been using the private beta and I’m in love with this app for our team at Lickability. @jsherwani has been super receptive to our feedback and the product just keeps getting better.

Hello Product Hunt! 👋 Today, I'm launching Screen, an app that lets you work together like you’re in the same room. Previously, I was co-founder/CEO of Screenhero (acquired by Slack in 2015), and led the team that built Slack Calls (voice, video, and screen sharing in Slack). Screen is great for: - Engineers: pair programming, code review, live debugging, and brainstorming - Designers/Creatives: allowing others to draw on your screen makes creative review with stakeholders incredibly more interactive and engaging - Students/Teachers: being able to draw and drive a shared screen together means students can ask questions more effectively, and teachers can help students where they’re stuck - Any knowledge worker: if you work with others, and need to have two or more people give input on the same app, Screen can help Read more about the story behind Screenhero, Slack Calls, and Screen: https://screen.so/about I’ll be around here to answer any questions! I hope you find Screen useful, especially during these times.

This is amazing, especially for interacting with clients as a designer! Left a few annotated comments here on your landing page too, hope its helpful and best of luck with this :) - https://app.usebubbles.com/2a2c5...

This is amazing. Just did a quick test with some less technical folks and they were impressed with how zero config it was. Very snappy, love that it works in browser on mobile and desktop.

Screen is amazing!! Seriously I have been waiting for something like this to be built for a long time.

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.

Can't wait to try. Was a huge fan and early user of Screenhero. Sadly slack failed miserably at integrating into their platform.

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.

What is this black magic?? This is incredible @jahanzeb_sherwani - congrats on the launch.

Screen is unbelievably fast and responsive! Better yet, is brought to life by one of the most empathetic, clever, and intelligent innovators out there!
