# TeleportFling TODO

Backlog of deferred / planned work, tracked outside of milestone milestones.

## Planned

- [ ] **Monitor picker in the GUI** — `stream-index` is currently config-only.
      Enumerate monitors via the xdg-desktop-portal ScreenCast API and expose
      a dropdown in the settings window instead of a manual index.
- [ ] **Surface runtime errors in the GUI** — capture/encode failures currently
      only hit the log. Show them in the status label (e.g. a denied
      screen-share dialog) so problems are visible without reading logs.
- [x] **`--config` flag** — the CLI and GUI accept a custom config path
      (`teleportfling --config /path/config.json`); explicit CLI flags
      override file values. Used by the systemd daemon unit in contrib/.
- [x] **Run as a daemon** — `contrib/install-daemon.sh` installs a per-user
      systemd unit (`contrib/teleportfling.service`) that starts the headless
      CLI with its own config at `~/.config/teleportfling/daemon.json`.

## Ideas (not yet scoped)

- Live settings changes mid-stream (`flinger.SetConfig` for FPS/quality).
- Bitrate/bandwidth tuning beyond the balanced 1080p30 default.
- Screen capture scaling / downsampling.
- Packaging (Nix package / AppImage / release binaries) — deliberately
  deferred.
