I was trying to find their actual streaming implementation in their codebase before giving up and checking their Discord. Apparently parts of their game streaming stack are being developed in private repos, and their subscription service is the only working version of this project.

In its current state I wouldn’t call this project open-source.

You should check out this project (https://kyber.media/) by the man behind VLC and ex CTO of a cloud streaming (JB Kempf). It also uses QUIC for transport and VLC/ffmpeg for fast encoding. Unfortunately it's not launched yet AFAIK.

If you’re interested in stuff like this, take a look at the looking-glass project.

It uses shared memory to display frames from a VM running under a Linux host.

I’m sure there’s a way to transmit those frames over a network if one was clever enough

That's a really cool idea.

Something like Sunshine[1], coupled with Moonlight[2]?

Sigh. That was the main thing I was interested in.

Yeah this is misleading enough to earn a flag from me. Those are the only things that would be terribly interesting from an open source perspective.
