Because of the virus, I wanted to share my solution for remote collaboration and teaching: https://github.com/amkhlv/mathpump3

Professor uses Wacom and Inkscape to draw a picture, which is incrementally transmitted to students' computers. Students, those who have Wacom, may interact. Or just watch. Transmission happens every time the svg file is saved. Transmission requires a RabbitMQ server, which can be easily set up. Basically, a class needs one person who knows Linux, to set up the server.

It is intended for scientific collaboration or teaching in small groups of people. I am now using it for teaching my QFT class, although it only has 5 students. In principle, it should scale, but I have not tried it for large groups...

I am developing a small program for navigating Linux desktop, with ergonomics in mind: https://github.com/amkhlv/wmjump The idea is to associate, subconsciously, a color to every type of program. Obviously, Firefox is orange, GVim is dark green, PDF viewers are reddish etc. A colored list pops up, with a charhint for every window; pressing a key brings you to that window. I have been using this system for about 10 years now, seems to work for me.
