Slide Controller

Control LibreOffice Impress slides from your phone over a local network. Node.js + Express backend, React + Vite frontend.

Run

./start.sh

Then scan the QR code from your phone.

How It Works

• The Express server sends xdotool keystrokes (Right / Left) to control LibreOffice Impress.
• It checks connectivity to the LibreOffice UNO bridge on TCP port 2002 to report connection status.
• The React frontend is a full-screen touch interface: tap or swipe left/right to navigate slides.
• On startup the server prints a QR code so you can quickly open the controller on your phone.
