Simple NodeJS WebSocket Clipboard sharing/sync app/example

Just hacky wanna-be app to share textual data between all opened instances. Much simpler than an app for chatting.

Purpose

  1. Sharing things between PC and Firefox Reality browser where copy-pasting becomes much more convenient than typing within VR/AR by controllers.
  2. Just for learning and due to my laziness only UTF-8 strings are passed, so even "protocol" is simple.
  3. Might take a part as a source for teaching someone about WebSockets.

Usage

  1. Clone this repository
  2. Go to the project directory
  3. npm i
  4. npm run watch
  5. Open served site under your IP address and port 3000, so http://<YOUR_NETWORK_CARD'S_IP_ADDRESS>:3000/

Everyone can dream

I wish it to be a single file project (just like writting in bash) without any extra project files, where an interpreter has a rich standard library.

I wish a TypeScript to be the only JavaScript.

Plans

Maybe some day I would bundle it as a single file thing. Maybe as a single file in term of .js/.mjs or packed by nexe or zeit/pkg.

Technologies
