    Looks very interesting, but i’m a bit surprised the most important feature isn’t mentioned: How well does clipboard sharing work?

      Im not a big fan of Windows but copy pasting a file across 3 nested RDP sessions feels magical every time

        To be honest, three nested RDPs sound like a terrible hack. In an ideal world, this would be two port forwardings and one RDP (thinking about ssh, which is still underrepresented in windows world). In an even more ideal world, this would be an IPv6 direct access ;-)

      And desktop scaling. And multi-monitor support. And file transfers. And drive redirection. And peripheral redirection. And...

        ...A test suite, And security audits, And most importantly benchmarks.

        What it does have is a license which it is GPLv3. So if anyone adds all those changes, they have to make the source code available with the same software license.

    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.

      When 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.

      Not many good MFA options for native RDP/RDG. Putting it in the browser lets you wrap the whole thing with OAUTH/passkeys etc
