I have some nits to work out before I'm comfortable with a 1.0 but I use it daily and I'm finding it pretty useful. Beyond just the trackpad, there are a few things I personally care about that I put into the requirements:
- No traffic leaves the network (unless you enable update checking)
- Trust is shared across the chain (if A trusts B and B trusts C, then A trusts C)
- No shared accounts (apple does this better than Daisy does but the trust requires the same icloud account)
- Easy but safe peer adoption
- Easy layout changes
From a feature perspective, I think I've checked all the boxes I care about. When I move a laptop around on my desk, it's super easy to move it in the chain (bug!). I can copy/paste files around easily (still testing). I respect MDM policies for screen timeouts but still keep screens active across the chain, when one device is active.
Things I'm still debugging:
- sometimes the layout screen loses the peers, even though the connections are still registered (the "bug!" above)
- sometimes a peer will start getting a little jerky
- I need to test more file transfers
Even with those nits, I think it's good enough for my daily driver and since it's free, I figured I'd share.
Let me know what you think. Or don't.
