Running

You will need at least Java 11 to run the application. Download the latest version jar here.

Command line arguments:

java -jar presentation-live-feedback.jar
 -h,   --help               Print this message
 -pwd, --password <arg>     Password for session manager authentication, random otherwise

For example:

java -jar presentation-live-feedback.jar -pwd 1234

How to use

After starting the application, navigate to http://localhost:8080, where you will be greeted by a login screen.

Click on the Join as Session Manager label at the bottom and enter a username and the password you provided when starting the application. If you don't know your password, enter password in the terminal where you started the application to print it.

If you click Login, you will be redirected to the session manager. Yours will be empty at first, but you can create a new session by entering a unique session name and optionally a password and clicking Create.

You can then either share the link via the icon at the top, join a session yourself or close it by clicking the respective buttons. Copying a link will also copy the password into a URL parameter, so you can share the link directly with the password.

If you don't want that, remove the password from the URL first or simply share the session name with your participants.

If you join as a session manager, you will have extended options for each session. By hovering over the icons, you will see a tooltip explaining what each button does.

If you have questions, feel free to open an issue. If you end up using this application, I would love to hear about it!

Build it yourself

Build the application using maven:

mvn clean package

and run it using at least Java 11.

To change the port the application runs on, use the server.port property in the application.properties file. The default port is 8080.
