The story of Synergy for the Changelog

julianoes opened this issue · comments

I suggest that you could cover the story of Synergy in the Changelog.

Synergy is a tool that allows you to share mouse, keyboard and clipboard between multiple computers even with different operating systems.

I think you could dive into at least these three aspects:

  1. The technology (cross-platform) and that it has been around for a while.
  2. Version 2 which was announced, then pulled, and is now in development again.
  3. The struggles on how to pay development for this open-source project, also see this interesting blog post: https://symless.com/blog/synergy-story

Keep up the great podcast!

I used synergy years ago! Awesome to see it still out there in the wild.

We'll see what we can do... ✊

Neat! Here's our repo by the way: https://github.com/symless/synergy-core

@nbolton did I ever email you about this? I thought I did, but now I can't find it and obviously the show has not materialized...

@jerodsanto Thanks for reaching out. I sent you a quick email just now 👍
