CoupleMode - No-lag YouTube sync for long-distance couples.

by•
Trying to watch movies long distance is frustrating when streams keep lagging. We always had to do the "3, 2, 1" countdown and it never synced right. So, I coded CoupleMode to fix it. You just paste a YouTube link and it syncs perfectly in HD for both of you without any extensions. I also added a leveling system so you earn XP while watching together, and a floating chat so you can text without pausing the video. Built this to solve my own problem, hope it helps you out too!

hey product hunt. i am ash, a self taught developer. i write a lot of my own code, but i'll be honest I also use ai to help me debug and vibe code to build things faster. Now let me give you guys backstory for this website: my girlfriend and i are doing long distance, and trying to screen share videos was always super laggy or out of sync. i got tired of the countdowns, so i spent time building couplemode to fix the problem myself. it perfectly syncs youtube videos without needing any browser extensions. i also added some features to make it feel like an actual date rather than just a utility tool. there is an xp and leveling system to gamify your watch time, floating chat notifications, and auto videos suggestions. i built this using next.js and firebase. it is totally free to use. i would absolutely love any feedback from experienced developers on the design or performance. let me know what you think.
