cantouchon Ask HN: What do you do while ChatGPT-5 is thinking?

Use Black Screen app (https://blackscreen1.com/) to stare at the backness of all your monitors. Or look at some random photos with it. :-)

Thank you! I thought about making a web app but it was impossible to implement some of the features I had in mind. Feel free to check the app out! It takes a minute to install. No registration is needed to use the app.

It seems, you've an issue with Microsoft Store in your Windows. Too bad. I'd love to hear your feedback on the app. Thank you for the kind words! Maybe you'll try downloading the app again in the future... That'd be great! Even though creating a Linux version of the app is almost the same effort as cretaing a new app from scratch, I hope I'll do that one day.

According to the EULA, video streams going through the video server are not kept or stored anywhere. The video server only performs simple stream broadcasting to connected colleagues. Video streams themselves passing through the video server are unblurred. That's how it works for now. Streaming blurred video to the server is a possible future improvement. This would require simultaneous streaming of two streams (with and without blur) when, for example, 2 colleagues out of 5 unblurred themselves for each other. The idea now is to see how attractive the concept is to people in general.

Okay, great! I'll try to be live for as long as possible. See you there, then! :-)

Yep, you'll need a test partner. Invite a friend. :-)

You don't have the possibility to use the frosted glass in online meeting call tools.

Hey students! I need your feedback.

I've built an app that allows you to do homework and study together with your classmates via live video.

Unlike Discord's study rooms, you are behind a virtual frosted glass that makes you feel comfortable being on the live video.

Use it to never do homework alone! Hang out with your clasmates together when studying, help each other while doing homework. Studying alone sucks, so don't.

Please check it out and tell me what do you think!
