On: KasmVNC – WASM Based VNC Server and Client

> While VNC is in the name, KasmVNC differs from other VNC variants such as TigerVNC, RealVNC, and TurboVNC. KasmVNC has broken from the RFB specification which defines VNC, in order to support modern technologies and increase security.

I understand the reason why you'd want to break away from the spec, but why call it VNC then?

Do you know a different term that conveys the same idea and is similarly short?

Remote Desktop Software [1] [2] or Virtual Desktop Infrastructure [3]. Rfb is the protocol used by VNC, btw.

Yeah that’s equally short.

The Kasm docker containers are very cool. It's all on GitHub, too.

Just curiously, what's the name "Kasm" come from?

Dishonesty and willingness to piggyback an already established industry/market.
