CLUSTER WINDOW-DESKTOP-SCREEN · 9 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2023-08-20
desktop screen-sharing utilities
This cluster consists of desktop utilities that improve screen sharing during video calls: a frameless video player for cleaner capture, a region-of-screen streaming tool, and a window-following sharer across macOS, Windows, and Linux. Only four dated entries exist before the index start, so the cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from; it either predates the index or its members are mostly undated. Traction leaders, by activity signal highest first, are douyin-side-scroll, NexsusVKVideo, and CursorFollow, each at 1 star.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
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 9 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.
