Project mention: Why is remote desktop slow when host monitor is off unless HDMI cable is used? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-10

Take your risk to use it, it is not signed and verified by Microsoft, and you need to install the test cert to use it. https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/discussions/6444#discus...

• Weylus

  64 6,499 0.0 Rust

  Use your tablet as graphic tablet/touch screen on your computer.

Project mention: Show HN: Another way to use an old tablet as an extra screen | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-06

I've used Weylus [0]. It works over LAN, lets you control the mouse from your tablet. Sometimes it's laggy, but you can configure the resolution so it's not using too much bandwidth. I'm not sure if it's stable at all. Haven't used it on a regular basis.

Project mention: Linux version of Warp terminal is here | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-22

Hi! I’m Aloke, an engineer at Warp.

I’m really excited to share that Warp is now available on Linux! If you’re interested in trying it out, you can download Warp: https://warp.dev/

Building Warp on Linux was quite an undertaking. Warp uses a custom Rust-based UI framework that we built in house and renders natively on the GPU. To get Warp running on Linux, we built a version of our UI framework that supports winit [1] as a windowing backend. We also built a version of our renderer that uses wgpu [2]. Reducing complexity by using these well-supported, cross platform, frameworks let us bootstrap a version of Linux quicker than expected and should make it easier to build Warp for other platforms (like Windows).

Please let me know what you think! Happy to answer any questions, either about the product or about technical challenges.

• niri

  5 2,295 9.9 Rust

  A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor.

Project mention: Cortile – Linux auto tiling manager with hot corner support | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-22

Great project but I truly believe that these single screen window managers are going to be a thing of the past if Scrollable WMs manage to find an audience.

Niri[1] and PaperWM for example, these Scrolling WMs provide a way to tile your apps in a way that feels natural. It's like having multiple monitors without having multiple monitors.

When I first used PaperWM on Gnome, I just couldn't figure out why somebody would even use their computer the normal way when these exist.
