This is super slick. Just played around with it with a friend and there's almost no lag. My CPU spun up quite a bit but nevertheless color me impressed. I'm curious how this is implemented though?


The networking is P2P (most of the time). The screen sharing is VP8 video compression. Presence is XMPP. The multiple mice, separate dock icon, and a lot of other little things are the result of a lot of hacking :)

We're going to be working on making the encoding more CPU efficient. (btw if anyone has any expertise in real-time video codecs we'd love to talk to you)
