Do You Guys Use Anydesk or Teamviewer and Are You Looking for Something New?
Key topics
Thus I am thinking to rewrite a new remote support Tool on the basis of HTML5, which is much faster because of it's WEBP support for screen sharing.
Basically what I need to do is to combine HTML5 Screensharing with a local tool that shares the Keyboard/Mouse input.
Would anyone of you guys be interested in it?
I am thinking to setup a crowd funding where all supporters would have free livetime access to the tool.
Developer seeks feedback on a new remote support tool and considers crowdfunding.

I've used teamviewer and anydesk, extensively, but have settled on rustdesk on my personal machine - works well, can run self-hosted or from the cloud.
