Remotr

Overview

Running in Ruby, using Sinatra and AppleScript, remotr is a simple application that aims for simplicity on presentations.

Prerequisites

• Keynote
• Ruby ( bundler is recommended but not needed )

Setup

In order to get the app running, you can setup it by executing the following commands:

$ git clone git://github.com/gregoriokusowski/remotr.git
$ cd remotr/ && bundle

Note: Just in case you don't have bundler, or don't want to use it, it's possible to install sinatra manually with gem install sinatra.

Up and Running

If you are ready with the setup steps, feel free to run the following on the remotr folder:

$ ruby remotr.rb

This will start a sinatra server on your machine, on port 4567.

Usage

First of all, your Keynote presentation, should be opened at Play mode. ( This part can be improved ) Let's say that your machine's IP address is 192.168.1.5. So everything you should do now, is access http://192.168.1.5:4567/show/next to advance, http://192.168.1.5:4567/show/previous to go back and to get the notes from the current page http://192.168.1.5:4567/notes/current .

There is the option to access http://192.168.1.5:4567/ and use it to navigate with an UI instead of just access the URLs by hand.

Todo

• Release as a gem.
• Open Keynote and Play the Presentation
• Create a command line interface, working with features like:
  • Presentation to open and show # like $ remotr foo.key
  • Port # like $ remotr --port 1233
  • Password # maybe prompt it :)
