yet another site which asks for your email before showing you anything. Just one page telling how incredible this is. But not even a page about the authors/makers and how the magic (not plugin required) works.

I tried showing a quick demo in the attached video. I wonder how can I improve this.

Chrome remote desktop is very fast, speedwise how does this compare?

I feel like it got a little slower when they moved it from a Chrome App to https://remotedesktop.google.com as part of deprecating Chrome Apps. Other than that, it's pretty great (and simple to use). I always recommend it to people with Windows home editions, since they can't use RDP.

How would this compare to something such as https://guacamole.apache.org/

Does this use Apache Guacamole or is it a custom-made software?

You may want to include differences from [mstsc.js](https://github.com/citronneur/mstsc.js) for RDP and [noVNC](https://github.com/novnc/noVNC) for VNC, apart from those are both being free open source software while yours is closed source monthly subscription software.

This indeed is mostly a wrapper around guac. But we did design a custom client protocol for speed.

Doesn't Guacamole Client's Apache License 2.0 require you to provide copyright notice / attribution for using it in this way? I don't see it anywhere here.
