Hi HN, I created this program out of my personal need to be able to do some handwriting on my Linux system. I know, I could just have bought a graphic tablet but as I already have a tablet with the necessary hardware for note taking around I was unwilling to do so. And after quite some fruitless search for a solution to this problem Weylus (= Web + Stylus) was born.
It is written mostly in Rust, some C and a tiny bit Typescript and works by serving a webpage that uses the browser API to capture pen, touch and mouse events from the tablet.
One thing I am not too happy with is streaming the screen back to the tablet, so you can see what you'r doing. Currently this is just a PNG stream over websockets, if you got better ideas I am all ears!
This should also run on macOS and Windows but with very limited features.
