Show HN: MeowDisplay Is iPhone Mirroring, but in Reverse
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. I've since taken it in a more phone-first direction, with work on the interaction, streaming and security layers. I've credited OpenDisplay and its developer Philip in the REA

Version & cost evidence
Source votes: 73 votes (Nov 10, 2026 UTC; cumulative since publication) Recent records to compare: “Show HN: FetchIndex – cost calculator for 19 scraping and search APIs” (Show HN, Nov 9, 2026); “Show HN: Negs (Spektrafilm) brings spectral film simulations to the browser” (Show HN, Nov 9, 2026). Shared themes are navigation hints; they have not been verified as the same need or independent corroboration.
Who is affected
Identify the existing workflow this change affects before recommending an upgrade. Launch attention does not establish improvement; an API, pricing or availability change may instead create migration work.
Missing comparison points
Missing checks: old versus new behavior, affected plans and regions, availability date, compatibility, rollback path and cost under the same workload.
Migration check
Save the release or policy notice, run the same task on the old and new option, and compare outputs and the full bill. For retirement notices, verify the deadline before scheduling migration.
