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.
