Brilliant! So much faster and seamless than VNC. Already helped me two times today.

This is the first time I discover an app through a Youtube video recommendation. I was watching The Rest Is Science when this 1 minute video appeared on the right side with 230k views about a macOS app?? It got me curious for sure.

Claude got really good at making demo videos with Hyperframes apparently. Just did my own this week for Cling (https://lowtechguys.com/cling) and Clop (https://lowtechguys.com/clop) and users are already appreciating that they can discover app features through easy to digest video snippets.

Most people don't read the website copy at all unfortunately so I had to adapt. But I would never have the patience to do that in After Effects.

Apple supports this already on the ipad by making the ipad another screen for your mac (I think it’s called sidecar?) and still use pencil, mouse, keyboard etc.

Iphone is novel though, but does a pencil work?

Is there a reverse app? I want to control my iphone apps from my mac since typing on iphone is painful and the iphone touchscreen keyboard seems to be less accurate and more laggy over time. And iPhone Mirroring feature is laggy for me for some reason.

Downloaded, installed, loved and donated via GitHub. Awesome app mate, it’s so good.

Also consider Astropad Workbench. This app doesn't get talked about enough in AI circles but the performance is top notch (no affiliation)

This is super nice!

I've been using Sunshine + Moonlight and it required a lot of tinkering and breaks half the time.

Looks like now I can forego that setup, this is way way nicer! Thank you!

That CLAUDE.md file is eating up a ton of context.

I still have the original iPhone lying around. I really like its design but it’s too slow and the software too old.

I was always wondering whether a thin client concept like this could bring it to live again.
