It should help creating applications for read only presentations on tv screens.

2.1 Architecture

This project is splitted in three parts:

• frontend client
• gateway
• backend client

2.1.1 Gateway

Gateway is responsible for pushing the data from frontend to the backend and from backend to frontend.

2.1.2 Frontend Client

Frontend Client is resposible for connecting and communication to Gateway thru websocket.

2.1.2 Backend Client

Backend Client is responsible for connecting and communication to Gateway thru RabbitMQ.

2.2 Data Flow

Frontend can send data to the Backend, but it also needs to react on the actions which the backend is sending. Backend can target certain browser.
