CLUSTER VIDEO-DESKTOP-OVERLAYS · 7 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2024-11-11

Desktop danmaku video players

This cluster consists of desktop video players that overlay synchronized danmaku (bullet-style) comments on local or online video, with some adding library management, casting, or annotation features. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from—only three dated entries exist before the index start, so the cluster appears to predate the index or its members are largely undated. Traction leaders, based on activity signal, are nipaplay-reload, plmp4, and KikoPlay, each showing zero stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 7 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
