Show HN: I'm using my last GCP free credits for an hours long co-browsing demo
Hey HN
I need to kill this before the GCP credits expire (in less than 1 day). I've switched it to Stripe Test Mode, so to use it, just:
- click the button
- enter an email and the stripe test card number (4242 4242 4242 4242) and any future expiry and any 3 digit CVC (sorry for the confusion, it won't make sense unless you've developed with Stripe before)
- submit the checkout form
You'll be take to a page where you can get your browser link, then you can use that link just for you, or you can send it to other people to "co-browse". Be warned, the screen will automatically shrink to the smallest width x height connected.
The browsers are meant to last 1 day but I will probably need to kill this demo before then as the credits expire.
Best of luck!
PS - Why might you use this? Co-browsing can be used to deliver live interactive training and support, to more than 1 person in real time, it can also give you visibility into your automation processes (connect to running puppeteer scripts, for example), or you can set it up as a secure remote isolated browser. It's basically a "head" for a headless browser. You can see the public version open-sourced here: https://github.com/i5ik/ViewFinderJS (without enhancements like co-browsing and variable-rate streaming) and you can write to me ([email protected]) if you're interested in deploying this either self-hosted or managed. Flexible contract, maintenance, and support options are available. See https://dosyago.com for more info (but please not the listed prices need to be updated!)

Fast selfhosted VPN with compression to client devices on slow networks - possible?
Don't expect Opera Mini crazy reduction though, they take out a lot of the page before delivering to you. https://github.com/i5ik/ViewFinderJS do render the page for you but it's not focused on compression. For extremely slow connection, brow.sh might be a better bet.

does anyone know self-hosted version of opera mini?

Show HN: Browse with Friends
Hello I posted this a week ago but it's iterated quite a lot since then. I don't expect much discussion I'm just sort of using posting here to keep a track of my progress and see if any of the iterations sticks with this community. I've got some ideas on use cases in terms of customer support, bug reporting or just sort of a weird thing where you can cobrowse with other people.
I have WebRTC support but I've turned it off in favor of websockets because I find that in general the performance is better. But I'd like to play around with the sctp settings as well as experimenting with a per frame ack before we send the next frame to improve WebRTC performance because I think one of the things that's going wrong with it is it will send a lot of frames and they kind of get stuck in transit which then causes latency. if I do that I think webrtc should be able to perform better than websocket but I'm not sure.

A live shared browser session
Hey, cool song choice! :) Sorry audio will not work on this 8002 port demo, but audio works fine if you go to https://comebrowsewithme.com create a meeting and send the invite to people. Honestly I don't know why that is. As for not knowing if anyone is watching with you, on my todo list is add a participant count. There's also a chat tab in the menu at right that I want to surface.

Show HN: Run puppeteer scripts from the Browser, open DevTools on remote pages
2 known issues:
- DevTools doesn't display the viewport. I'm not sure if this is due to a change in the latest Chrome to which I just updated (~90) or because I broke my serving of it by updating it. A workaround will be serving a static snapshot of the devtools front-end rather than just (simply, as I'm doing right now) pulling it out of Chrome's RDP endpoint each time. This may take some time to do.
- DevTools doesn't seem to work on iOS (as I've tested it, Safari or Chrome).
- There are many more issues, and a lot, but not all, of them are edge cases but they'll be fixed eventually.
More bug reports, UI/UX tips and advice, and other feedback are very welcome! Unfortunately the whole app is not open source but some parts are open source, namely, the virtualized browser[0], and the devtools-front-end[1].

Show HN: Web proxy in iframe with Flash and incognito tabs
This work is based on this project on GitHub:
https://github.com/i5ik/Viewfinder
The version used in the above live demo has many advanced features (as you can see in the comparison[0]), including, Flash now as well. Thanks to the wonderful Ruffle Flash emulator project, written in Rust[1]

Show HN: A WIP <BrowserView> web component with Flash, tabs and more
This includes a live demo on the same page. Just it "Try it now", and it will boot up a component for you to play with. I've made the Home page a list of class Adobe Flash games, that the Flash emulator project Ruffle uses for tests.
I use Ruffle to provide the flash content. It's pretty cool.
Everything should work, but you may have some issues on older browsers. It will not work without JavaScript enabled.
The browser component is based on this project:
https://github.com/i5ik/Viewfinder
but contains a bunch of enhancements, such as better streaming (using WebRTC and various tricks), Flash, and many other improvements.
If you see an issue feel free to report it to the above repo, preferably as a discussion, which just seems cooler and more lightweight.
This was all originally created as a delivery layer for a web-scraping app that was supposed to work on mobile, but became a break-out product in its own right...Break-out as in factored-out :). You can build lots of different stuff with it.[0]
The Ruffle integration functions essentially the same way as the Ruffle browser extension, so it's basically incorporating an "extension" even tho it's running Chrome headless. There's also paid options if you need that.
