🙋♀️🙋♂️🙋 Testimonials
Glad to see Hyperbeam going well.
I’ve been an user of their service since almost its beginnings, +1.5 years ago. As a developer of a similar Rabb.it alternative, least I can say is that they’ve done a good job at managing, ranging from the technical part to the business part, a service like this one, and seems like there’s more to come. Good team, good support, good product. A pretty stable and enjoyable experience.
Congrats for the launch 🙂

Hyperbeam(previously known as tutturu, still kinda miss that name) is literally the best site for remote groupwatch, not only because of what it offers right now, but the future potential as well.
This site started as a mean to fill the hole left by rabb.it but within a short span it has had such tremendous development that at this point almost everyone can agree that it has far surpassed its predecessor. Which is, thanks to its incredible devs and the relentless work they put behind Hyperbeam to constantly fix and improve, making it such a feature rich, user friendly site/app. Not only that, the service staffs are possibly the nicest and most responsive people i have ever met in this field.
Ive been using it everyday for more than a year now and I absolutely love this site and wish it nothing but succes in future.
