H-M-H/Weylus
Use your tablet as graphic tablet/touch screen on your computer.
Weylus runs a local webserver that lets any browser-equipped tablet act as a graphic tablet or touch screen for your desktop. No app install needed on the tablet side — just a URL. Works cross-platform but is meaningfully better on Linux where it can use uinput for pressure/tilt and XShmCreateImage for fast screen capture.
Linux-first architecture pays off: uinput gives you real kernel-level input events with pressure and tilt, not just mouse emulation. Screen capture via MIT-SHM shared memory is genuinely fast. ffmpeg is statically linked, so no runtime dependency hell. The browser-as-client approach is clever — zero install on the tablet, works on iOS Safari and Android Firefox.
No encryption by default and the TLS story is painful — you're handed a shell script and told to deal with self-signed cert warnings yourself, including a Firefox WebSocket bug that requires a manual workaround. Wayland support is 'experimental' and missing window-level input mapping, which matters if you're not on X11. Hardware acceleration is disabled by default because quality varies too much to trust it, which means you're doing software H.264 encoding on the host CPU. Windows and macOS are second-class: no window capture, no stylus pressure, just mouse control and whole-screen mirroring.
