It requires Websockets on the server, which means installing Websocketify, which means installing Python, which means installing XCode. Yet, the setup process is amazingly complex for a non developer user. I looked around and found two main projects. For years I'd been betting on WebRTC and WebSockets but hardly could find anything substantial. Ubiquity is key, and I desperatly needed a way to be able to remotely access the screen using modern HTLM5 standards. And then, what if I want to connect from a Linux machine? Or a Chromebook? except the connection to the Mac Server screen is not encrypted.

So for a year I carried a USB drive with a portable version of RealVNC.

But what about Windows ? My way of thinking is that if I am using a public computer, I cannot install anything on it. The built-in Screen Sharing app works great. I can easily have a VNC connection to my Mac server from a Mac client. No big companies have made true WebVNC solutions In all cases you either have to download and install a small software or a browser extension in order to be able to manage the screen of the remote machine. But they all have a common problem: you need to install something on the client to access the server. We've got Team Viewer, AnyDesk, GoToMyPC, Chrome Remote Desktop and about a dozen more that are quite popular.
There are plenty of VNC solutions out there. Remotely accessing a computer screen is not new.
Ever since I transformed my former MacBook Pro into a server I had been looking for something quite special: an easy way to remotely access its screen right from a web browser, without installing anything on the client.
