Interesting from a technical perspective but with native RDP clients readily available on just about every platform, I don't see the need for it.

- boredishBoi 6mo agoNot many good MFA options for native RDP/RDG. Putting it in the browser lets you wrap the whole thing with OAUTH/passkeys etc
- hnlmorg 6mo agoHaving just implemented OAUTH into a Go app this week, I can assure you that it’s surprising easy to do so without making your entire application a website.
- boredishBoi 6mo agoI don’t disagree but none of the native RDP clients support oauth for non azure computers.
- le-mark 6mo agoWhen it’s in a browser you don’t need to install anything on the local machine. I used to use Apache guacamole to access my machine at home from work when I was stuck in a cube all day. https://guacamole.apache.org/ https://guacamole.apache.org/
- pixel_popping 6mo agoBrowsers are sandboxes, your native client often isn't, there is definitely a huge advantage, portability and embeddability as well, it's also simpler to sniff traffic (and MITM it).
- jqpabc123 6mo agoDoesn't this limit your ability to share resources and transfer data?
- pixel_popping 6mo agoWhy would it? You have access to your entire filesystem via the browser.
- stephbook 6mo ago1 contributor, 1 commit, new project... gives me vibe-coding feels.
- zcw100 6mo agoIf you have factual observations to make that's fine but can we stop with the "smells like vibe coding" attacks? It's like an AI version of an ad-hominem attack.
