Show HN: Multi-display screen sharing with CoScreen

Good to be back on HN with all-new CoScreen, a little more than 3 years after it launched over here!<p>With CoScreen 5.0, you can now share your windows from multiple displays at the same time, a long standing request by our most avid users and impossible in other apps. It also has a lightning-fast, Rust-based window compositing, scaling, and streaming engine now.<p>CoScreen was always meant to be different so that you and your team can share your screens simultaneously and multi-directionally, and to be able to control what is being shared. We saw it as a natural extension and closely coupled with your OS — instant, fast, and seamless. A better way to pair program, debug tough incidents, or jam on great ideas by sharing multi-modal information like code, commands, graphs, or logs.<p>All that made a lot of sense conceptually but to be frank, it was hard to get it right. Now a part of Datadog and with major parts of our app rewritten in Rust, we feel we’re closer than ever.<p>Here’s what pair programmers liked about CoScreen, so we made it even better: - High definition code sharing: Windows are video-streamed in real-time at their native resolution whenever possible. You never have to search for your IDE anymore or be anxious to share the wrong window. - Multi-directional collaboration: You can share, while Alice shares, while Bob shares. Side-by-side, across multiple displays. With built-in crisp audio and video chat. - 60FPS+ super smooth mouse pointers. Type, click, and draw on any shared window as if it was your own.<p>What some of you did NOT like, so we fixed it in CoScreen V5: - CPU utilization and latency have been reduced drastically as various parts of our desktop client are now implemented in Rust, building on crates such as cxx, rust-skia, iced, as well as Neon for our native remote control plugins. - No more accidental clicking into remote windows through the new remote window toggles. - You’re no longer bound by your displays, can share windows from multiple of them at the same time and even move them across displays while sharing without stopping. - You’ll also soon be able to join meetings from your browser from any platform.<p>CoScreen runs on macOS (x64 and Apple Silicon), Windows, soon also on the web and is currently free. We’re planning to charge for larger teams and enterprise features in the future. Hopefully - finally - we’ll also have a Linux version one day. Tell us if you need it urgently and if you have any other requirements!

Show HN: Gut – An easy-to-use CLI for Git

Hi Hacker news !<p>I’m Julien and I built an alternative CLI for Git : gut.<p>Even if I haven’t been coding for a long time (I’m in the first year studying computer science), I’ve always found git to be frustrating. The command naming is inconsistent and git lets you easily shoot yourself in the foot.<p>I made gut, another git porcelain, to solve these issues.<p>It provides a consistent naming of command. To do so, syntax is based on subcommands. For example, to delete a branch, run gut branch rm rather than git branch -d, same to delete a remote (gut remote rm) and so on.<p>Gut also prevents you from shooting yourself. It provides nice defaults and always prompt you before doing something destructive. Also, it won’t allow you to rewrite the history if it has been pushed to the remote. Creating commits in detached head is also prohibited.<p>Finally, git was made when GitHub and others didn’t existed yet. To diff commits, gut opens the compare view in the browser. And to merge a branch, gut opens a pull request.<p>I have been working on this project for the past few months and I am happy to be able to share it.<p>I hope you’ll like it. Any suggestions is welcome !<p>Repo: <a href="https://github.com/julien040/gut">https://github.com/julien040/gut</a>

Show HN: StratusGFX, my open-source real-time 3D rendering engine

It's been closed source for a long time while I worked on it on and off as a hobby research project, but yesterday the repo was made public for the first time under the MPL 2.0 license.<p>A feature reel showing its capabilities can be found here: <a href="https://ktstephano.github.io/rendering/stratusgfx/feature_reel" rel="nofollow">https://ktstephano.github.io/rendering/stratusgfx/feature_re...</a><p>A technical breakdown of a single frame can be found here: <a href="https://ktstephano.github.io/rendering/stratusgfx/frame_analysis" rel="nofollow">https://ktstephano.github.io/rendering/stratusgfx/frame_anal...</a><p>It's still in a very beta state (bugs and instability expected), but I felt like it was a good time to make it public since a lot of its core features are mostly presentable. I plan to continue working on it in my spare time to try and improve the usability of the code.<p>Two main use cases I could see for it:<p>1) People using it for educational purposes.<p>2) People integrating it into other more general purpose engines that they're working on since Stratus is primarily a rendering engine. Any extensions to the rendering code that are made public would then further help others.<p>So I think it will remain very niche but I'm hoping it will still be helpful for people in the future.

Show HN: Customizable, embeddable Chat GPT based on your own documents

Hi Hacker News!<p>My name is Bea, I built a site called Libraria that uses GPT to do a few things<p>1. Let you spin up multiple assistants based on your own documents. You can make it public, private, or protected. It has its own subdomain and landing page. 2. Respond in full markdown always, so it can output images, links, code, and more 3. Let you upload articles on the fly within the Chat, so you can ask it questions 4. Make it embeddable in your site with one line of code 5. Let you update it for fun / with your branding 5. Enable syncing for any URLs you let us scrape, so that you can make sure it's always up to date 6. Let you upload multiple file types<p>I've been working on this for about a month now by myself and you can keep track of my feature updates here: <a href="https://libraria.dev/feature-updates" rel="nofollow">https://libraria.dev/feature-updates</a><p>I would LOVE your feedback on anything, and If you're willing to try it out I'm looking for a few beta users that can provide me more continuous feedback that I would gladly waive the fee for!
