Thanks :D I'm thrilled to see that what was originally just made for me and my long-distance girlfriend to watch movies together has turned out to be useful for other people too. I guess we got tired of the whole routine of "press play in 3, 2, 1", haha.

I worked on a similar idea a few years ago (using WebRTC). Glad to see that someone turned the idea it into a real product!

This reminds me of the Xbox app where there was a movie theater scene at the bottom and your avatar would go sit down when you went to watch the same thing as a friend. At least this doesn't require Xbox gold!
