No, I don't seem to be able to download the latest Deskreen-1.0.0 version from your web site, because your web site is just a blank white page.

  https://www.deskreen.com/ https://www.deskreen.com/ please try to visit that website It may be a problem of Github CDN it is not able to catch up with so many users at the moment, probably

    It works fine. That was a bad-faith comment from someone that browses with JS disabled. Frankly, I think that comment was uncalled for. I also make the choice to disable JS by default, but I just enabled it to see your site. I think this is an awesome project and I freaking love your attitude, too. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.

      Thank you for your feedback! It really means a lot to me :)

  I see download counts rising with this command: curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/pavlobu/deskreen/releases https://api.github.com/repos/pavlobu/deskreen/releases | egrep '"name"|"download_count"'

  Or just go straight to github.com releases page and download it from there directly. Here it is: https://github.com/pavlobu/deskreen/releases/tag/v1.0.0 https://github.com/pavlobu/deskreen/releases/tag/v1.0.0

Thank you for making this open source. I hope you'll be able to find a way to make this worthwhile for yourself.
- pavlobu 6y ago
  You are welcome! I know it is not absolutely encouraged nowadays, but I'm making it completely out of good will. Making a good thing to the world you live in, is already worthwhile, isn't it? :) Cheers

> app is not Code-Signed yet, code signing is pricy I've used K Software before (who resell Comodo certs for cheaper), but it looks like they are around $90/year now; I'm sure they were a good bit cheaper when I last renewed 2-3 years back :-/ Be prepared for a shitty and lengthy verification experience though, including having to put details on multiple online telephone directories of their choosing (wtf that is meant to prove, I don't know!), and possibly having to get your identity notarised by a solicitor/lawyer. I really wish there was some kind of "Let's Encrypt for code Signing", but because of the verification requirements it's hard to see it happening. I suppose it might be technically possible to do for a selected set of countries if the right gov APIs existed.

  Yep, code signing is a racket and a complete bs :/

your "meet the team" page seems pretty lonely, I hope there are people here, who are interested in contributing. I'm definitely going to look, if I find a place, where I can contribute some code, docu, translation or anything.

  Hi, you are absolutely welcome to contribute and later I'll make an API to fetch and display contributors from github there. Cheers

> * use any device with web browser as second screen for your computer (using Display Dummy Plug) Does this really need the display dummy plug to function? Isn't there any way to create a "virtual" software-only display on eg. Linux?
- pavlobu 6y ago
  There are the ways to do it for every platform and commercial apps that have features like Deskreen prove that. But they don't disclose their solutions. It is beyond of my current knowledge at the moment how they made it. The goal of Deskreen is to bring more attention to this problem from open-source community, so then we can all come together and build a really cool stuff! Of course I wanted to make Deskreen an HDMI Dummy plug FREE solution from very beginning but could not find out how.

Cool, from a cyber security perspective... can I access it from another network? and does it communicate over TLS?
