Wayland support, would you look at that!
Was it rustdesk or some other popular open source remote desktop software that had "no plans of supporting wayland"? In any case, nice!
- Just a beta feature though. Last time I checked it still didn't work unattended. So unless the missing wayland puzzle pieces are in place now, it's likely still unusable for be.
  
  That is also a wayland showstopper for me personally. Does someone know if it is a per se wayland issue or is there "only" the implementation missing (i.e. in plasma wayland for instance)?
Do they have a flatpak yet?

  Nice!
Used to use TeamViewer as I supported it for a company and was familiar with it but I got tired of the 2 hour session limit. Found Rustdesk through some Google searching and now I run my own install of it. Absolutely love it for my use case and I'm glad they're able to keep putting out updates!
what is hesdless linux?
- Like a server with no direct input output accessibility. X can be run remotely.

Always cool to see it progress!
Rewritten with Flutter
Wasn't it from the start?
- I am not sure myself, so the following may be wrong.
  In my understanding, the rewrite refers to the RustDesk desktop whose interface appears to have been created with Sciter, which was replaced by Flutter.

  That looks right actually, so they had been using Flutter already for mobile and finally decided to align their desktop codebase to it too, makes sense
that'm look so good!, gonna ditch out anydesk
Neat piece of software we use at the office to provide remote support to customers.
One more version without the obvious UPnP. At this point I think they're not implementing UPnP in order to somehow profit from the lack of it in the future. Who on their right minds wants all traffic going over a server when in most cases you can simply use UPnP? This makes no sense.
- Also yet another version with the address book not implemented, but I bet the sign in button is still on the client to continue to confuse new users. Almost 2 years that button has been there to do nothing.
  
  the inability to deploy to macOS with a custom server (they allow this for Windows with a renamed executable). https://rustdesk.com/docs/en/self-host/install/#put-config-in-rustdeskexe-file-name-windows-only
