Show HN: Weylus – Use your tablet as graphic tablet/touch screen on Linux
Hi HN, I created this program out of my personal need to be able to do some handwriting on my Linux system. I know, I could just have bought a graphic tablet but as I already have a tablet with the necessary hardware for note taking around I was unwilling to do so. And after quite some fruitless search for a solution to this problem Weylus (= Web + Stylus) was born.<p>It is written mostly in Rust, some C and a tiny bit Typescript and works by serving a webpage that uses the browser API to capture pen, touch and mouse events from the tablet. Additionally the desktop or a selected window is captured and encoded to a video stream via ffmpeg. This stream is played in the browser using the Media Source Extensions API.<p>This should also run on macOS and Windows but with very limited features.
