So Rustdesk but vibecoded and without Wayland support??

Software factories
🤮
voxl was built for things like software factories that use headless VMs and sandboxes (CI, computer-use agents), usually on Xvfb with no GPU. It streams them to a plain browser tab over one WebSocket and has APIs for agents.
How is it different from RustDesk? RustDesk is an open-source alternative to TeamViewer and AnyDesk, for reaching your own computers or helping someone with theirs: you install its app on both ends, desktop or phone, and the two find each other through an ID server, then connect directly or through a relay. For that it's the better fit, and it also shares Wayland desktops (experimentally) and Android phones, which voxl doesn't. voxl is for desktops on servers, VMs and sandboxes: it's one process that serves its own page, so there's nothing to install on the viewing side and no ID or relay server to run. The stream goes wherever a URL does, can be embedded in another page and comes with the APIs agents use. RustDesk has a web client too, but it still goes through the ID and relay servers, and the self-hosted one comes with RustDesk Server Pro.
No Wayland support yet, though it's being worked on.
At least there are no obvious signs of slopware.
