While working, I will often find myself having one monitor used for VScode, the monitor directly to its left be used for reference documents (such as MDN), and my third monitor is a split between testing, a view of my WIP website, or more reference material.\n\n2. While gaming/streaming, I often have a game on my main monitor, guides or reference material on the second and the third monitor will have a split of twitch dashboard and chat.\n\n3. While gaming on the TV, later at night, in the same room as my main PC (hooked up via a long HDMI cable while I game on the couch) I will often want to have the game on the TV and I will alternate between having LIVE eSports matches on one monitor, and a black screen on the final one. This allows me to game in a darker room without as much eyestrain while allowing me to quickly use my PC without having to reach behind to turn monitors off.\n\n## The solution\n\nI decided that I would tackle this problem by attempting to create a website that saves certain embedded sites and allows me to quickly load up layouts of sites based on my current activity. \n\n\n## Technical challenges\n\n``These are the basic hurdles that I must learn to overcome in order to build the project.``\n\n* Must controls multiple, separeate, browser windows at the same time. \n* Must resisze and be able to save layouts and take monitor resolutions into account.\n* Must be able to embed/load websites within the page itself in a pleasing manner that is non obstuctive.\n* Must be able to subdivide a window to allow multiple widgets/embeds on the same monitor (such as chat and twitch stream/dashboard)\n\n``It would be nice if :``\n\n* It is able to fullscreen all open windows at the touch of a button (useful when gaming on the TV)\n  * If not, can it resize windows automatically and place them somewhere on the screen?\n  * This may not be possible as it could be something used by popups to be extremely intrusive and could be blocked.\n* It is able to be remotely controlled via the site being open on another device \n  * Login most likely required, might be a stretch goal once everything works as expected. But might be able to pair with some kind of local code? Could be fun to look into.\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdanekf%2Fpersistentlayout","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdanekf%2Fpersistentlayout","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdanekf%2Fpersistentlayout/lists"}
