I've used Sidecar, and I thought it was more of extending your screen to the iPad, with some basic input controls on the device as well.

It looks like this is more of a mirroring setup where you can use the tablet for touch-enabled input.

Sidecar works great with touch-enabled input as well—I personally use it for Photoshop/Illustrator projects, and it has completely replaced a traditional tablet (one less thing to carry).

Regardless, this project looks incredibly cool. The cross-OS support is a killer feature.

You need to sign in with the same Apple ID, which is such a joke. I have an iPad that I created a unique Apple ID for and I can't use it with my maxed out MacBook Pro without losing the purchases. Truly infuriating

Why did you do that?

Because my personal devices are personal devices, and I got the iPad in order to do research for a business I'm building on the side. I didn't think I wouldn't be able to use both seamlessly just because of an arbitrary decision on Apple corporate's side
