# slide-beacon-app

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dermike/slide-beacon-app/master/screenshot/screenshot.jpg)

Mac OSX app from the [slide-beacon](https://github.com/dermike/slide-beacon) project made with [Electron](http://electron.atom.io).

Share links from your computer using this app to broadcast them as a [Physical Web](https://github.com/google/physical-web) Eddystone URL bluetooth beacon or [mDNS](https://github.com/google/physical-web/blob/master/documentation/mDNS_Support.md).

To discover shared URLs wirelessly via bluetooth, use the [physical-web-scan-app](https://github.com/dermike/physical-web-scan-app), or see the [Physical Web website](https://google.github.io/physical-web/try-physical-web) for Android and iOS clients.

Enter URLs manually or use this [reveal.js plugin](https://github.com/dermike/slide-beacon) to share links in presentational slides.
