It's rather sad the article and the website are likely generated by "AI agent", too...
What the heck is wrong with this world nowadays...

  1. I see the news, read them;
  2. Open the main website the news refer to - web-archived;
  3. Read the website;
  4. Press on the "View Docs" or "Get the SDK";
  5. Nothing happens;

The reason: No links even exist for these buttons.
There's only: <a href="#">View Docs<a/>.

Did anyone even check the output of these sorrowful awful stupid LLMs?
Why not... you know... verify your work prior publishing...?
Oh... indeed... it's not yours... no human ever at all...
Convenient... No one is responsible for mistakes...

Such fudging sorrowful time to live...

And yes... I regret my time wasted...

I guess maybe because the site is still a work in progress? I'll give the dev the benefit of the doubt because all of the things that they try to tackle are not exactly web development. Here if you want yo read the docs.

Thank you for the link!
The project feels relatively similar to Sunshine but focused on robotics instead of gaming, is based initially on VLC and FFmpeg, and is written in Rust.

Without tooting our own horns too much, this already exists and has for the last five years: https://remocon.tv/

It's very customiseable, has the same extremely low latency that they promise without showing, and has all of the flexibility in hardware and interaction. People should hook their robots up to it.

Cool. too early in development to use in my robot as I don't see any mention of ROS2 in the wiki.
