Desktop Controller

Control your desktop from your mobile or from anywhere through WWW.

The problem Desktop Controller solves

Today, all you need to do is push a button on the remote control to flip back and forth between hundreds of channels. Many of the things you use every day can probably be controlled remotely. From garage door openers and toy cars to lights and stereo equipment, it's easier than ever to control things from afar.
The growing laziness and curiosity in humans to simplify tasks (automation) have been the cause of many new inventions.
Amid this Covid-19 pandemic, people are ultimately forced to work from home, and working along with family is a tough task. This software or tool will help them to control their desktop from any location.

Example 1 - A person working from home suddenly goes to the nearby market to bring some groceries, realizes that he left the system open, and anyone (a kid) can disturb the state of the system, and he can lose their hard work. In that case, he will use our software to lock the system.

Example 2 - If we want to send some links from mobile to laptop, then we have to use either Mail or WhatsApp, but we can simplify this by using the desktop controller.

Example 3 - other features such as volume control, note saving, CPU, and battery statistics are also available.

Challenges we ran into

The main issue during the hackathon is hosting of server.py file. We tried on Cloud VM, there it was working fine, but on hosting it on Heroku Cloud Server as we didn`t know how to run uvicorn applications on a cloud, it took much of our time. At last, after lots of searching, we were able to host it on Heroku.
