Show HN: Use an old tablet as an extra monitor | Oct 2023

I've used Weylus [0]. It works over LAN, lets you control the mouse from your tablet. Sometimes it's laggy, but you can configure the resolution so it's not using too much bandwidth. I'm not sure if it's stable at all. Haven't used it on a regular basis.

Deskreen: Turn any device into a secondary screen for your computer | Jan 2022

Shameless plug: I created a pretty similar piece of software: Weylus [1].

Additionally to mirroring the screen touch input is forwarded, so you can use your tablet as graphic tablet for your computer. I only use it on Linux so that's where it works best. It comes as a single (mostly) statically linked binary with a minimal gui (and headless mode via command line) and is written in Rust (do I still get brownie points for that?).
