What is BrowserSharer?
Its name defined its usage. A user can share his/her browser to another user online.
This interactive web application started as an Independent Study project, developed to understand the role of Free/Open-Source
Software (FOSS) in today's computer programming. Open source software plays important role in the fast revolving
technology. Many argued that there are many open source applications that are better than those commercial ones and FOSS
keeps accumulating on the web. According to the study, many proprietary or paid applications are using open-source
applications as their base programs, or the idea was derived from open-source application. FOSS is popular among
software and web developers to start or to finish their project. There are also tons of finished products,
ready-to-use by the consumers even for their specific needs. The problem is that, many of these great applications
are not used because of either no documentation to install, users do not know about these apps or the end users do not trust
standalone free and open source applications.
Also, one of the major causes is the technical support, in other words, even if the product is working great, there is no warranty on it.
In order to understand the benefit of FOSS, I created this real and working application.
Initially, this was intended for the web and apps learners/developers using various programming languages but I added some functionalities until it became one online education platform.
In the Code Share and Math Share pages, the use of an open source was demonstrated, while some functionalities were created from the top.
Using open source framework will reduce the working time and effort of the programmer, where a supposedly from hundred thousand lines to million lines of code to do, an application can be done with a thousand or hundred lines only.
A BIG thanks to the dedicated open-source developers!
How to use this web application?
This application is so simple to use. No need to login, no installation of any programs or plugins on your computer systems.
If you are the host (sharer),
Just click the Code Share or Math Share from the navigation bar, copy and share link to your partner. Start typing your own code or math tutorial and your partner can see what you are doing live from the other side of the world.
The output of your code can be seen at the bottom of the same page as illustrated in the demo. You can also save your work on your computer for future use.
If you are the viewer ,
Just get a link from your partner and watch or modify your partner demonstrating the code or math equation from remote place.
So, there is a collaboration between the two or more users on the same page.
