## What it is
n.eko is a self-hosted virtual browser that streams a remote desktop running inside a Docker container to multiple viewers via WebRTC, inspired by rabb.it. It includes shared control, text chat with markdown, admin moderation (kick/ban), and clipboard synchronization.

## Use cases
- watch videos together with friends in a shared virtual browser
- self-host a rabb.it alternative
- stream a remote desktop to a group over webrtc
- give friends remote control of a browser in docker
- host a shared browsing room with chat and moderation

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted watch-together virtual browser with shared control
- you need a dockerized remote browser streamed over WebRTC

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained project - use the m1k1o/neko fork instead
- you need multi-room or persistent user accounts
- you need a production remote-desktop solution
