• The development of common remote control protocol clients and some servers has been completed. It has preliminary practical functions, and needs to be tried by small partners, find bugs, and put forward suggestions that can be more convenient to use in practical applications.

• For terminal remote control, because qtermwidget only supports LINUX/UNIX, it needs to support other platforms.

• Peer-to-Peer (P2P) remote control is finished. which is also a feature of this project. See requirements for details: #7
