This is a game-changer! Thanks for all your work on this.

Do you have any plans to allow controlling more than 1 computer remotely? I'd love to implement this in my homelab.

Thanks for reading!

Right now, I can't think of a way to do this. The Pi only has one USB OTG port, so I don't know of a way to share that among multiple machines.

A friend suggested an interesting solution of chaining TinyPilot together with a "dumb" multi-machine KVM that supports switching via hotkey. So it would go:

TinyPilot -> legacy KVM -> server1, server 2, ...

You could still use a web interface and hop between servers using keyboard shortcuts that the legacy KVM understands.

That's a really great and simple idea, actually. I might give this a try.
