Zoom Zoom

A skeleton project for Zoom Zoom. Uses Svelte (not sveltekit) to generate a single index.html file.

Can be tested with https://github.com/Stengo/DeskPad (hopefully?)

NOTE: The place where I found the Svelte PresentationAPI code is https://github.com/search?q=presentationConnection+svelte+canCast&type=code (might not be very good though).

Process

Here's my current thinking:

1. The web part of the app gets built in Svelte + Vite (TypeScript).

• This would work great as a standalone html file, except new PresentationRequest(url) needs a valid url for the "receiver", see this and this thread
• Here's the viewer.html example which is what would have to be served in the url in new PresentationRequest(url).

2. That means we need some kind of server. I tried two options:
3. Creating a Go server works surprisingly well, see my conversation with Claude. HOWEVER, it would need https://github.com/progrium/darwinkit to run the app's lifecycle properly if I wanna bundle into a an app bundle, like this
4. There is py2app for python too, and that should work except when I tried it it was a horrible mess of dependencies and lots of horrible stuff. It's way heavier than the go server above.

TODO

• Create the server such that it just exposes the index.html (generated from this Svelte project) and the viewer (with any needed JS and stuff there, see viewer.html)
• Modify the Go example from https://github.com/progrium/darwinkit to run a simple server, and try to bundle that into a .app. It should work
• Test that once that is working, the Presentation API actually works as intended.
• Finish all the other stuff! (The actual UI)

Notes on Christian's requirements

• Alphabetic order to preserve some kind of muscle memory. Rearranging the images isn't good
• "Clicking" should only be used for changing the image.
• Scrolling with the mouse takes too long.
• Don't dim the images.
• There will be an archivist looking at this repo. Make their life easy
• My idea for the above is to host a version of this on GitHub pages (a publicly accessible one that he can use) but also to give them a bundled executable which should work offline and under all other circumstances.

Useful commands

This repo was created with:

pnpm create vite@latest 
pnpm install vite-plugin-singlefile --save-dev

Build Svelte app:
