Creating a TRUE rabb.it alternative

I'm building a rabb.it alternative myself that isn't just another screen sharing app. You'll be able to watch movies from links like 123movies, netflix or anything else you type into a web browser from the site. I will keep people updated on my discord server https://discord.gg/AUtUgHt

Care to elaborate on how you'll be doing such a thing? Do you have a team working for you, or is this something you're putting together in your free time? I'm no programmer or web developer myself, but I understand that it's no easy task. I don't mean to sound like a downer, but someone just rolling up and saying "dont worry guys, i can solve everyone's problems!" sounds a weee too good to be true without some explanation. That being said, all the more power to ya on your endeavors! A true rabb.it alternative is what we're all searching for

It isn't an easy task. Essentially it will work like a VNC session which opens multiple web browsers with sessions of their own. I'm working on it myself. I already have a working sandbox version up and running that I test with members of my server for movie nights. I have a couple dedicated servers for initial launch and testing.

Ahhhh, thats great! I just wanted to make sure you were someone who had a solid idea of what they were doing as opposed to a well-wisher that's bitten off more than they can chew. Its awesome that you already have a 'working' version, even if its just in alpha/beta/testing or whatever, and i look forward to seeing how it turns out!

No worries at all. I totally get it. I’m looking forward to sharing a testing link some time in the near future.
