Keep an eye on that for anything new
- apitman 3y agoHow much ongoing development is needed for something like this? I've been using synergy/barrier for years and the features I need have changed barely if at all during that time. Seems like a prime candidate for "finished" software.
- ryukafalz 3y agoBarrier doesn't support Wayland, which is a pretty big missing piece at the moment for Linux users.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoI use "lan-mouse" on Wayland.

- ytjohn 3y agoMostly finished. However, these software take advantage of the accessibility features of each OS to emulate mouse and keyboard input. Clipboard access is also required. So as each OS changes the requirements to access those features, someone has to keep updating the software for that. Synergy doesn't work on Wayland, so I can't use it on Fedora anymore (unless I switch it back to X). There's always new feature requests. Drag and Drop files is a common one. I personally think that's scope creep, but I can see the appeal. Synergy and barrier already establish an encrypted connection between machines, so copying a file seems a good fit. At very least a "Synergy send to ${computer}" share/send to option would make sense. Here's Synergy's roadmap, and since Synergy and Barrier are the commercial/open-source fork of the same ancestor, Barrier probably has received similiar requests over time. https://symless.com/synergy/roadmap https://symless.com/synergy/roadmap
