Hi HN!<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;frop.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;frop.io</a> is a simple application that allows you to present content (PDF presentations, Images, Text, 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 posted this two weeks ago. Since then I&#x27;ve completely overhauled the design and built a native tvOS and Fire TV viewer app (both free and publicly available).<p>Once again, looking forward to your comments, suggestions and criticism.<p>Thanks!

I love this concept, and it&#x27;s great to see the current support for dragging and dropping images and PDFs.<p>I was checking out the functionality and tried dropping a couple different formats into the host screen (Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, .txt files), and the host screen would either do nothing or get stuck on the validating screen. I&#x27;m guessing this is because these aren&#x27;t currently supported types. If this is the case, I&#x27;d suggest notifying the host that the file type is not supported.

Excellent.I was working on a similar personal project. I had these functionalities in mind:<p>- Gradient &#x2F; Color full screen mode - Keep remote screen awake - Screenshot preview of remote screens (html5 canvas)<p>+ Visualizations<p>It is nice to have a TV&#x2F;monitor on to use as a light, clock... without having to deal with Chromecast

Looks cool. Would be nice to be able to drag a pptx or google slides link which would unpack the images or slides automatically. Then you could use arrow keys to easily advance the stream. May be outside the scope for simplicity though

Does this only allow for one viewer per presentation?<p>I can imagine a lot of use-case scenarios with multiple viewers enabled, if at all possible?<p>Nice work though, I can see some uses for this already!

Great work! Supporting multi-page PDF is a good feature there.

I tried it and it looks good to me, my only concern was how will be the session name collision is handled?
