I want to be able to drag an app from one computer on to another
With waypipe we now have something that sort of works like x11 forwarding. There used to be a piece of software called x2x that would let you move your mouse off of one screen and on to another.

Qt Wayland: support for surviving a compositor crash was merged
afair ChromeOS do implement it, harder to find the commit but also know Arcan mentioned elsewhere in this thread added it quite a while ago https://github.com/letoram/arcan/commit/d547c55565a848946422e24eee324c8ed091ff15

not the biggest Xorg fan, but it isn't all sunshine and rainbows in the promised Wayland.
I managed to find this one in my history: Arcan it does has a cool name ngl, I never tried it though

Wayland blows ass and mostly functions as a launcher for x.org processes. Nobody needs, wants or asked for Wayland. It's nobody's fault but the assholes at FreeDesktop
Lol not arcan

SDL Tries Again To Prefer Wayland Over X11
Arcan is a decent contender for an actual way forward (and like PipeWire replacing PulseAudio, Arcan natively supports X11 and Wayland clients)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing x2x and arcan you can also consider the following projects:
input-leap - Open-source KVM software
hello-wayland - A hello world Wayland client (mirror)
barrier - Open-source KVM software
waybox - An openbox clone on Wayland (WIP)
ddcutil - Control monitor settings using DDC/CI and USB
openbsd-wip - OpenBSD work in progress ports
display-switch - Turn a $30 USB switch into a full-featured multi-monitor KVM switch
glaucus - A simple and lightweight Linux® distribution based on musl libc and toybox
ydotool - Generic command-line automation tool (no X!)
python-validity - Validity fingerprint sensor prototype
rdrview - Firefox Reader View as a command line tool
