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.
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

I’ll be around here to answer any questions! I hope you find Screen useful, especially during these times.
FYI @jsherwani, I did a video review of Screen and tagged you on it but I don't think you're super active on LinkedIn. I wanted to put your great new tool in front of a different audience (beyond tech folks!)

@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...
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. 😁
@plightbo Thanks! The onboarding is like old-school Sierra adventure games, I'm afraid, where if you take one step off a path, it's over! 😄 All you may have missed is that you can keep drawings around by keeping your mouse clicked, or using Caps Lock.
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.
Screen is unbelievably fast and responsive! Better yet, is brought to life by one of the most empathetic, clever, and intelligent innovators out there!
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 !
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...
@conor_clarke1 Thanks so much for taking the time out to give your thoughtful feedback! I really appreciate it 🙌 We'll definitely keep it in mind when we revisit the front page!
Screen is not perfect, but I cannot get away from it. The user experience is so much better than Zoom and it's simpler than other products, like CoScreen. Wow. Well done.
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!!
