On: Paper Planes

[morinted]

If you open it on your computer and your phone, you get to see your plane fly out onto your computer screen after you throw it from the phone.

I wonder how they are doing that, must be by IP?

Or maybe the planes coming from the bottom of the screen are a realtime feed of new planes world wide.

Sounds like coincidence. My window has planes continually flying from my direction, and throwing one from my phone doesn't seem to change anything.

+1. curious about how they linked desktop + mobile. i think you just see all the ones launching nearby by ip address.

Yeah, I'm curious as well... I'm trying it and it doesn't seem to work for me :-(
