I tried it with an iPad and it works great, however the text-quality is sadly not good enough for my use case: as a second screen for looking at API documentation, PDFs and coding. I wish this could be improved - software such as Parsec(only for Windows hosts) can achieve better quality (though not perfect).

Hey thank you for your feedback! Indeed there is still enough room to improve for Deskreen. You can try to change resolution of your virtual display to make all look bigger if you need that. Cheers

  Text should look pixel-perfect if you use loss-less compression. Or aren't you? Are you using QuickSync/HWEnc (lossy h26X?) ?

    I didn't dive that deep into WebRTC configuration yet. But I think it can be achieved with some sophisticated SDP transform configurations. I have an idea how to make it more usable with with current setup. There is a new feature in electron comming in future releases: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/23923 https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/23923 they claim that it will make possible to run desktopCapturer without a mouse pointer. So I was thinking when it will be released, we can make two separate streams: one for entire desktop with really high quality, and second streem just with a tiny fraction of desktopCapturer mouse with its position. Then merging these streams together and delivering to client web browser. This is basiclly how astropad works. They are delivering high quality picture of entire desktop, but the fast mouse pointer movement in its own small box, you can see it when watching videos, the pointer has a slight bounding box around it when you are watching some Forza Horizon videos and hovering a mouse above it. Hope that one day we can do it in Deskreen :) Cheers

If you have a Mac then just use Sidecar

  I have iPad Pro 2017 and Apple already thinks it is too old to run a SideCar on it. Such an incredible world we live in :)
