This product was aimed at developers, whose work involves working in several operating systems at once. Combining several devices together into one cohesive experience, this solution shares one mouse, one keyboard, and one clipboard between all Windows, Mac, and Linux computers.
As a rule, software developers need more than just one computer to write the code properly and concentrate on numerous tasks. Some people have both a personal PC and one for work, or they may need a different OS, Mac or Windows on their computers, or, like gamers, have separate gaming and streaming machines.
In any case, they usually want to control multiple computers with the same keyboard and/or mouse.
The main aim of this application was to set up a convenient workplace for developers working with several computers and monitors and a single input device. In short, to make all connected computers a single, easy-to-operate device.
The idea of the project is that if two or more computers stand side by side and are connected to adjacent monitors, the input from the mouse and keyboard can be transmitted over the network, and work for all these computers.
The target of this application is setting up a fast and convenient workplace with several computers and monitors and one input device. The idea of the project is that if two computers stand side by side and are connected to adjacent monitors, the input from the mouse and keyboard can be transmitted over the network as if they were connected to two computers.
The main business needs were:
We have created functionality and design based on the technical documentation for effective mouse and keyboard sharing.
What does a developer feel when he closes a task that was considered impossible to complete? A delight! Watching how many complex ideas and approaches add up to a quick and convenient tool is why programmers take on complex tasks! This project is just like that: in the beginning, it was not clear whether it was possible to implement everything planned. And in the end, I bought this cool product that simplifies the developer’s life so much. The biggest challenge for me was the need to implement all the functionality for all the platforms. Technical documentation was not sufficient. Therefore, we searched the forums, appointed consultations with enthusiasts, and even wrote official letters to the creators of the platforms.
