Getting started 🚀

Slidecontrol's extension is available in the Chrome webstore or by installing it locally:

git clone https://github.com/m4r1vs/slidecontrol.git
cd ./slidecontrol/slide-control-extension
npm install
npm run build

This builds the extension into the folder /slide-control-extension/build which can then be added by navigating to chrome://extensions and clicking Load unpacked.

Following the steps after installing the extension will lead you to our PWA (/slide-control-pwa), available at slidecontrol.niveri.xyz.

Contributing 😊

To contribute to the PWA just run this:

git clone https://github.com/m4r1vs/slidecontrol.git
cd ./slidecontrol/slide-control-pwa
npm install
npm run start

And to help improving the extension you can install it locally as descrived above.

And finally to run the WebSocket on your machine you can just cd into it and run it:

git clone https://github.com/m4r1vs/slidecontrol.git
cd ./slidecontrol/slide-control-server
npm install
node server.js

In order to connect to it with the PWA and/or extension you need to head into their options and enter your IP (or just wss://localhost:PORT) and everything should work out perfectly.

Slidecontrol has a build in QR-Scanner to connect to your presentation. The speakers notes are synced on your phone as well. Finally there's also a laser-pointer which is controllable from the app.
