Show HN: Frop.io – painless remote presentations

5 pointsby derwildemomoover 8 years ago
Hi HN!<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;frop.io is a simple application that allows you to present content (PDF presentations, Images, Text files, YouTube videos) on a remote screen without installing any software. It&#x27;s completely based on web standards (Websockets, JS) and runs in most modern browsers.<p>Simply start a session by calling frop.io&#x2F;[yoursessionname]<p>I built frop.io to be able to use a RaspberryPi as a presentation endpoint but wasn&#x27;t happy with the existing solutions. This is what I came up with.<p>The next steps are adding more supported media types and clients for FireTV and Apple TV. Mobile supported is currently very limited, but basic PDF&#x2F;Image sharing is possible using iPhones and Androids.<p>Consider frop.io an early preview of what&#x27;s to come, but I was eager to share this side project and I&#x27;m looking forward to your opinions and comments.<p>Thanks!

Amazing. Works very well on Chrome but Safari (10.0.3) can&#x27;t do the transition of slides in the demo.<p>It would be nice to have custom URLs (like mycompany.com&#x2F;presentations&#x2F;presentation1) and the ability to invite, have private&#x2F;secure presentations, calendar integration, automated alerts, ability to register meeting notes, pointer sharing and integrated audio conference (maybe using webrtc?).<p>Screen sharing is somewhat inconvenient for a remote presentation but this can be pure gold. Congrats.
