docs: the actual thing, on actual Windows - #73
Merged
Conversation
The README's opening image was one I staged: the receiver's canvas, on the Mac, with a text file on it explaining what you were looking at. It made the argument. It did not show it — everything in that frame was macOS, so the one claim a reader is weighing, that a Windows laptop becomes the screen, had to be taken on trust. This is a photograph of it happening. The taskbar is Windows; everything above it is macOS, with its own menu bar and its own Finder window. Nothing about that needs a caption to be believed, which is the point. Supplied by the maintainer from the session that came up earlier today. Checked over before committing: no credentials, no personal data, nothing identifying beyond a desktop's worth of ordinary application icons. JPEG rather than PNG, at 1600px and 250KB. The content is photographic and the PNG was 1.9MB, which is a poor trade for a file every visitor loads before reading a word. The staged version is removed rather than kept alongside. It existed as a stand-in for exactly this, and two images making the same point where the weaker one comes first is worse than one. Also corrects the "not proven yet" note, which said latency over a real LAN was unmeasured and implied the path itself was untested. The path is now demonstrably fine — what is unmeasured is the per-stage numbers on it, and that is what it should have said. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Details
Provenance. Supplied by the maintainer from the session that came up earlier today. Reviewed before committing — no credentials, no personal data, nothing identifying beyond a desktop's worth of ordinary application icons.
Format. JPEG rather than PNG, 1600px, 250 KB. The content is photographic and the PNG was 1.9 MB, which is a poor trade for a file every visitor loads before reading a word.
The staged version is removed rather than kept alongside. It existed as a stand-in for exactly this, and two images making the same point — weaker one first — is worse than one.
One claim corrected
"What isn't proven yet" said latency over a real LAN was unmeasured, which implied the path itself was untested. The path is now demonstrably fine; what's unmeasured is the per-stage numbers on it. It now says that instead.
