It’s time to give that an end… announcing RinCast, a free* and open source alternative to Virtual Desktop
RinCast has all of the basic stuff that Virtual Desktop offers. Desktop Streaming, VR Streaming, and it even works better in a few network setups. RinCast is fully free to use on your local network or over Tailscale, and with the RinCast account*, you can even use it across the internet. The app, streamer and backend for the RinCast accounts are fully open source under MIT license too, so you own everything of your stack. Need a better performance overlay? Just build one. Need support for another headset? Go ahead, no one can stop you.
It will be in early access soon. You can join the discord in my Bio for updates, and I’ll try to post some on here too, but not as regularly
*RinCast is fully free to use on LAN and over Tailscale, and it will be free to use with RinCast accounts in the beginning. However, if I can’t handle the server cost, I may have to charge a very little fee in the future to only use that one feature. Everything will always stay free!
The screenshot with the performance was shot on a non-LAN connection and does not represent true latency on a LAN setup, more info on that also soon
My avatars got ripped hehe...
it was my fault anyway because i'm joined public instance...
i can't confirm that it was actually got ripped but i got 3 suspicious users who suddenly joined in and then leave within second...
Bewere of them all, who ever is about to go public!
