Not too much info, but I can see the first commit was yesterday. Looks like it opens a web server on your PC, which you then open in the browser on your phone. The buttons there make requests that triggers stuff through robotjs.<p>Cool idea, but doesn't look secured at the moment. And impossible for me to use on my work network, a pairing with the computer would work (bluetooth or USB), but probably not be as easy to implement.
Sounds cool. I'm probably not going to install it without an idea of what it's capable of. Maybe a better README with some examples and screenshots would be helpful.
Why would anyone upvote this? the README is worthless, the repo was started yesterday and it has absolutely no authentication before allowing control of your computer via a publicly available webpage.<p>Common' HN, smh.
I always thought it made a lot more sense to pair an existing touch device with a computer instead of embedding touch in the keyboard. It’s less limited (e.g. larger horizontal or vertical or grid layouts as needed) and it uses something that most people already have.
Still much work to do but it's an interesting idea and a good demo for one day of work.<p>It core dumped after a few minutes and I had to close every terminal instance before being able to type again but it's OK for what it is.<p>When it won't crash and kill the keyboard I could use it as a clicker for PDF presentations on my Ubuntu laptop. There is already a wonderful remote for LibreOffice Impress (<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.libreoffice.impressremote&hl=en" rel="nofollow">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.libreoffic...</a>) but I didn't have anything for the other presentation formats.<p>But we'll need at least some kind of authentication over an encrypted channel.
