+# Lan Mouse [WIP]
+Goal of this project is to be an open-source replacement for tools like [Synergy](https://symless.com/synergy) or [Share Mouse](https://www.sharemouse.com/de/) on wayland compositors.
+
+## Very much alpha state
+The protocol used for the virtual mouse driver is currently unstable and only supported by wlroots:
+[wlr-virtual-pointer-unstable-v1](wlr-virtual-pointer-unstable-v1)
+
+Currently the mouse moves in a circle when receiving a(ny) udp packet on port 42069.
+
+## TODOS:
+- Capture the actual mouse events on the server side and send them to the client. Ideally via some 1 pixel wide transparent window that captures the mouse on the server side and then sends its events to the client.
+- Keyboard support
+- Add support for clipboard contents
+- Graphical frontend (gtk?)
