@adarshurs is making incremental updates to this app over the years and the updates are only making the app more powerful and useful. You should definitely check this app out if you want to use VLC media player the lazy way.
Congratulations on the launch Adarsh! Seems like this is something that could expand into many other video applications as well!
@between_team thank you. Looks like between app is a nice idea, I'll check that out.
And, Yes, I do have plans to expand the app with new features. However, can you tell me about expanding the app into many other video apps? I just want to know what you're thinking.
@adarshurs I meant more so on the naming. It looks like it can be used on more media players than just VLC, so maybe a name that suggests that might be good?
@between_team yes, you're correct, that's why we have another app called 'Remote for PC & Mac'. Lot of people search for vlc remote, we do not want to lose them.
A great app. Since you are constantly adding new features to the app can I expect a feature for controlling presentations for PowerPoint?
This is definitely useful, for those who are constantly working on their computer and need to get from place to place. Keep up the great work @adarsh_d_r_dharani.
@adarsh_d_r_dharani @shivam_ramphal Thank you for chiming in Shivam! Shout out to the Florida Product Hunt familia!! <3
