Show HN: Nextprev.it: Share PDFs & control what page the viewer sees in realtime

40 pointsby cooopover 12 years ago
We just launched Nextprev.it — A project we put together over a couple of days.<p>The project stemmed from a frustration with PDF file transfers and screen-sharing when giving design presentations to clients through Skype.<p>Please give it a go and let us know what you think - @nextprev<p>Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I've been testing this for the past week or so - used it for a couple of client presentations and it's absolutely fantastic.

This is very cool!<p>It's not really the same purpose but a cool feature to me would be a sponsorship / deck feature so you can send it out to see who views it individually. So you can see which potential sponsors actually look at the info you send, and which pages.

I will start using this immediately. Question- do the links expire after a certain amount of time, or can I control how long the PDF is available at that link? That would be an important feature to me (as a way to protect confidentiality etc)

Very very nice, congratulations ! Could you share a little bit of the technologies used ? How to you make every browser go to the same page ? Do you think this would be possible with video as well, like making sure everybody is at the same point on a video ?

Great demo! I'd make the "You see this" "They see this" images larger. And add a favicon, if only so it's more clear that the "&#60;&#62;" at top left is a logo (and when the user clicks on the logo, go home).

Doesn't seem to work in Chrome. This is what I get: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/ps7LT.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/ps7LT.png</a>

Neat idea. It'd be nice if you could see how many other people were viewing the presentation and perhaps even chat with them.

Very nice. I did something similar as well a couple of weeks ago but didn't publish it. Good job!

Love it. Great use of websockets to create a simple solution to a common problem.
