m1k1o/neko vs demodesk/neko, why do we have two of them?
This project started as a fork of m1k1o/neko. But over time, development went way ahead of the original one in terms of features, updates and refactoring. The goal is to rebase m1k1o/neko repository onto this one and move all extra features (such as chat and emotes) to a standalone plugin.
- This project is aimed to be the engine providing foundation for all applications that are streaming desktop environment using WebRTC to the browser.
- m1k1o/neko is meant to be self-hosted replacement for rabb.it: Community edition with well-known GUI, all the social functions (such as chat and emotes) and easy deployment.
Notable differences to the m1k1o/neko are:
- Go plugin support.
- Multiple encoding qualities simulcast.
- Bandwidth estimation and adaptive quality.
- Custom screen size (with automatic sync).
- Single cursor for host - cursor image proxying.
- Custom cursor style/badge for participants.
- Inactive cursors (participants that are not hosting).
- Fallback mode and reconnection improvements:
- Watching using screencasting.
- Controlling using websockets.
- Members handling:
- Access control (view, interactivity, clipboard).
- Posibility to add external members providers.
- Persistent login (using cookies).
- Drag and drop passthrough.
- File upload passthrough (experimental).
- Microphone passthrough.
- Webcam passthrough (experimental).
- Bi-directional text/html clipboard.
- Keyboard layouts/variants.
- Metrics and REST API.
