Carsten allows you to carst stuff. Ok, more in detail: The idea is to cast things within your network to a receiver. A receiver can be anything. A TV, a projector, a Tablet.
How we use Carsten currently:
- Play a YouTube video
- Start a Google Hangout on a TV
- Monitor our CI build statuses
- Display Doodles
- ...
The philosophy of carst
Carsten is...
- Not a way to stream content from one device to another
- Not meant for interaction with the carsted stuff. You just show stuff and that is what you want. If you want to interact, hook it up with your HDMI/DVI/... cable and waste a lot of time instead of showing your message.
- Agnostic of permissions, roles or users. If you don't want to become annoyed, just turn your receiver off.
- One-Click-Awesome. Don't question it.
How it works
- On carsten itself, you can add a carst to a queue
- A receiver can ask for the current carst and do stuff with it
That's it.
