Moonshine, a new open-source project on GitHub, enables game streaming from PCs to any device running Moonlight, the popular game streaming client.

Moonshine functions as a streaming server that broadcasts games from a personal computer to compatible devices using the Moonlight protocol. The tool addresses the need for flexible game streaming solutions beyond proprietary offerings from major manufacturers. Moonlight, the underlying streaming technology, is an open-source client available across multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. By leveraging this established protocol, Moonshine allows users to extend their PC gaming library to secondary devices without vendor lock-in. The project has garnered significant early interest, with 147 points and 64 comments on Hacker News within its initial exposure. The GitHub repository serves as the central hub for the open-source community to contribute, report issues, and improve the codebase. Moonshine joins an expanding ecosystem of streaming solutions competing with NVIDIA's GeForce Now and other cloud-based alternatives. The project's open-source nature positions it as an accessible option for users seeking local streaming infrastructure.
