Hi HN!

Over the past few months, I've been building JustDesk, a remote desktop solution that runs entirely in the browser, with no installations or plugins required.

JustDesk uses WebRTC for peer-to-peer connections and aims to offer a fast, secure, and accessible alternative to traditional remote desktop tools. It's ideal for users who need a quick and simple way to share their screen or control another device — without dealing with setup pain or security headaches.

Tech Highlights Frontend: Next.js 14, React 18, Tailwind CSS

Backend: Node.js, Express, Socket.IO

Real-time Communication: WebRTC (P2P)

Infrastructure: Docker, Redis, Nginx

Security: End-to-end encryption, JWT authentication

Current Features Instant screen sharing (browser-to-browser)

No downloads or extensions required

Low latency peer-to-peer connections

Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, mobile browsers)

Enterprise-grade security model

Coming Soon File transfer

Voice chat (VoIP)

Session recording

Mobile app (React Native + WebRTC)

SSO integration (SAML / OAuth2)

Analytics dashboard

WebAssembly-based performance optimizations

Live Demo You can try it directly in your browser: https://justdesk-1.onrender.com

I'm actively developing this and plan to make it open source soon. I'd love your feedback, suggestions, or any questions you might have!

Thanks for reading — Kadir
