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!)
