Hey HN and Cats, thank you for checking this out! Github: https://github.com/raiseCatError/meowdisplay EDIT 2: I should've mentioned that MeowDisplay started as a fork of OpenDisplay: https://github.com/peetzweg/opendisplay which provided the foundational screen capture, virtual display, encoding and iPhone/iPad receivers.

A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.
