Clicker

A (Google Slides) presentation remote right in your pocket.

What's Clicker?

Clicker is a basic presentation remote that can be used when presenting on Google Slides (and w/ a basic customization on ANY app).
It was made in about 8 minutes before I was giving a presentation, because I didn't have any remote control with me.

The graphics sucks because I did this in a rush, but it works perfectly. A 10 minutes timer is included (client-side) and starts on page load.

Feel free to improve the project as you wish.
