  3. wayvnc

    A VNC server for wlroots based Wayland compositors

    Project mention: DeskPad – A virtual monitor for screen sharing | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-10-10

    Yeah. On Wlroots or Sway, we can setup virtual displays pretty easily (swaymsg create_output, done). Then both the other person and yourself connect to the wayvnc vnc server server to see what's over there.
