Shared

This program allows one device on a shared network to share its screen with others. It is designed for pair programming and technical meetings within development companies, as well as for individual use. The computer sharing its local screen acts as a server and streams a bitstream representing the pixels of the shared image to anyone who connects to the specified URL.

The program is designed so that one screen is shared with multiple client devices. There are two routes:

• At /admin, the user can share their screen with others.
• At /, users can view the screen being shared.

Roadmap

• Features
  • Share the screen
  • Optionally audio share
• OS Support (as a server)
  • Linux
  • Windows
  • Mac

The program allows different administrators to share their screens within the same network using an algorithm that checks whether the current port (3000) is in use or not. If it is in use, it checks port 3001; if that is also in use, it checks port 3002, and so on.
