Tuple for Windows Public Beta

Tuple for Windows Public Beta(tuple.app)

37 points by tupleapp 1 year ago | 5 comments

I've been using Tuple for years even before COVID while working at Pivotal Labs.

Even though we have Slack huddles, Zoom meetings, Google hangouts, and more available. We prefer Tuple to the rest. It's the best app for screen sharing (and obviously for pairing).

Their support staff are also really good. They get back to you quickly with actual help from caring people.

The app has improved impressively since I first started using it. There are tons of useful features that devs will love. My top favorites are:

  1) Scriptable lifecycle triggers. I use this to pause Spotify when joining a call.

  2) Hiding certain apps content from being shared (messengers, pw managers, etc.)

  3) They give a lot of control to viewers of a screen share. What resolution is streamed, what keyboard buttons I want to send when controlling, drawing, emoting, typing, etc. All make for a seamless experience.

Disclaimer: I am NOT a Tuple employee and I do not know any Tuple employees personally. I am just a fanboy.

I can vouch for Tuple, it's an excellent app. Far better experience than Discord or Google meet screen sharing.

Give it a try !

Used it already to screenshare between a Mac and a Windows laptop - flawless.

Congrats!

Sad it came at the cost of dropping Linux compatibility.

Hope to be able to bring Linux back at some point. Unfortunately there wasn't enough users to justify spending development time on it. It's hard to tell if the user count was low because of lack of interest of issues with app itself. It's also ironic that Linux is the hardest platform to support. It had too many pieces outside our control that would break. If/when we can get back to it I'd like to avoid Flatpak and take an approach that we can have more control over. Possibly a static build and maybe even look into native package manager integration.
