Modern screensaver toolkit

Create an open-source screensaver framework with WebAssembly support. Serve developers maintaining legacy screensaver codebases.

Why now

Critical infrastructure like XScreenSaver lacks maintainers, creating demand for modern alternatives.

Who for
Display systems developers
Business model
Enterprise support
Effort
A few months

Screensaver development stagnated despite modern display needs. A WASM-based toolkit could breathe new life into the category with web technologies.

Monetize through enterprise support contracts. Start by porting classic algorithms to a WASM runtime.

Risk is limited market size for non-advertising display tech.
