Top 23 C++ Network Projects
- Project mention: Deskflow – Share a single keyboard and mouse between multiple computers | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-23
OK this helps a lot to give some perspective:
https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow/wiki/History
So Deskflow could be called the current-day evolution of the original Synergy v1! Barrier and Input Leap were forks, but this one is the project that acts as upstream to the company that ses it to build a sellable commercial product around.
Now that's clearer, after all pieces of the puzzle fell into place.

> 4. The distribution of the software itself means anyone who successfully installs it themselves really is a power user and does like the options. Installing it for family and friends doesn't work.
i have seen many comments, by lay people, out of Sonobus [0] being superb on what it does and impressive by being 100% free. that's a niche case that if it was implemented on Ardour, could fit the same problem OP describes

however i can't feel where the problem of FOSS scaring normal people. someone getting a .h264 and a .wav file out of a video-record isn't normal after all. there are plenty of converters on the web, i dunno if they run ffmpeg at their server but i wouldn't get surprised. the problem lies on the whole digital infrastructure running on FOSS without returning anything back. power-user software shouldn't simplify stuff. tech literacy hopefully can be a thing and by quickly learning how to import and export a file in a complex software feels better to install 5 different limited software over the years because your demands are growing
