Screen sharing is built for documents, not synchronized video events. I built ShortVibe to provide synchronized playback, contextual chat, and automatic cleanup for short video watch parties.
I spent two years building for the wrong behavior and learned that short, synchronous live video events create stronger engagement than broadcast-style async tools.
I almost added a "watch later" button to ShortVibe, then realized it would undermine the synchronous micro-event experience.
We built async tools to broadcast, but they left teams disconnected. The next wave is built for small, synchronous gatherings that create shared presence.
