Back in the day there was also a huge security hole which could be exploited with the xwd command. If you knew the dns name of a terminal you could get a screendump from it. It was not secured at all.

You don’t have to design a new protocol. There is an open protocol which works nice for this use case. It can handle dropping connections, has a nice routing mechanism, it scales pretty well, has different QoS levels, pub/sub, request/response. That protocol is... MQTT v5!

Personally I’m surprised it is not used more often by web devs.
