And I also applied for YC S22. I guess... there goes my application! and I don't need to wait for the rejection now, heh.
Seriously tho, I love your polish and how you've beautifully marketed it to a particular social watch party niche. Very cool!
And looking at your demo, the way it's running a desktop browser from mobile, I'm guessing you maybe use Guacamole and VNC to a remote virtual desktop?
Hehe, why would you think my demo uses VNC? It doesn't look anything like that. VNC always displays a real browser in a desktop like environment, like Hyperbeam looks like. VF just shows the viewport of each tab, the actual browser controls are clearly custom, and they're on the client. I'm so puzzled you thought mine was VNC! :D ...I guess you're maybe using https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen_Capt... / getDisplayMedia (maybe with an extension to enable permissions for the full desktop) to create the video stream.
Anyway, yours is cool. I actually just capture the remote tab viewport and stream over websocket or WebRTC checking whichever is faster.
3 times is impressive. But I think I beat you there: I've applied to YC like every batch since 2015 with a variety of ideas the last couple with the browser stuff. I think they're never going to let me in. They just hate me. I don't have the creds (no fancy college, no CS degree, no connections)...I live in Asia. And I'm solo founder. :)
Haha, I don't think I'll stop applying tho maybe :D
Have you thought about joining a founder community? I'm part of this one called https://founderscafe.io and it's a bunch of solo founders co-working together every day. There's also some YC alum like Rishi, Jon, Nemo, Nikhil, etc., who are really active here and have helped people with their startups & YC apps. So fucking worth!!
I've also got embeddable multiplayer web browsers you can stick in an iframe at https://dosyago.com and an instant demo live now at https://freebrowsers.dosyago.com plus there's also an source-available version on GitHub at https://GitHub.com/crisdosyago/Viewfinder
