Run graphical software in your browser

CoCalc is able to run graphical software using X11 via your browser.

The application with a graphical user interface runs remotely on CoCalc using a virtual display provided by XPRA.

Features

• You no longer have to install and maintain the applications. In particular when you're teaching a class, students just have to sign in to CoCalc to get started!
• These virtual desktops are persistent during an ongoing project session.
• It is also possible to collaboratively interact with the same application in real-time.
• You can copy/paste between your local desktop environment and the virtual session.
• Sophisticated session handling and compression makes this more robust and faster than traditional SSH X-forwarding.
