It is using a WebRTC Data Channel. You can send binary/text data over the same connection that is receiving the media. The other exciting thing about Data Channels is that you can send lossy/unordered messages and get flow control. You can know how much data you can send and how fast. You can build faster and more responsive data APIs that way!

What I'm saying is from the gif (repo README) you see this localhost web thing. I'm aware you can screenshare say from Chrome and show a tab or your whole desktop. In this way you have mouse control/people would just watch your screen. I'm not clear on how they're clicking into that shared browser (to use YouTube). Normally for this kind of thing you need an OS-level component. There's something on the GO side but trying to find the bridge on Vue side https://github.com/m1k1o/neko/blob/master/server/internal/websocket/control.go#L88 https://github.com/m1k1o/neko/blob/master/server/internal/we... idk maybe somewhere in here https://github.com/m1k1o/neko/blob/master/client/src/components/controls.vue#L252 https://github.com/m1k1o/neko/blob/master/client/src/compone... I had to deal with this problem too with regard to remote control somehow without installing an OS-level app but that didn't happen went a different route. Idk this is a cool project, looks like it is possible to do remote control with webrtc. And webrtc as said above can replace websocket for data transfer. https://github.com/maxogden/screencat https://github.com/maxogden/screencat ehh then again: > On the host side the app must synthesize mouse and keyboard events on the host OS. This is the tricky part, and the only part where a custom native node addon (C++) is required. Yet another cool project robotjs hmm

  It's in a container with xorg running. It doesn't need kernel level access but it does need userland access which it does have access to in the container.

    > UserLAnd Hmm that's cool I was not aware of this thing, not surprising but still cool to find out now.

      “userland” is a UNIX term that roughly means “apps” but in ancient sense. UserLAnd is just an app for Android using that word stylized as its name.

        oh okay so they're not the same gotcha
