About Blink Linux Remote Control

When you want to be able to control your Linux Computer with your phone, and Wifi is not an option.

This application uses Bluetooth as it's communication with your computer.

Please Note: You will require the server in order for the phone to have something to talk with. The link with the installation instructions can be found below:
https://github.com/drpain/blink-server

USAGE
- On the "Swipe Area" (Default) screen, you can swipe left and right to skip videos / music tracks. And Up to Pause / Play. Lastly swipe Down to stop.
- On the "Mouse Area" screen, you basically have a laptop trackpad. Moving your finger controls the mouse pointer.
- Tapping once is left click.
- Tapping Twice in quick succession is right click.
- And holding your finger down will right click.

Finding time to work on this is quite tough since I work full time, but I am all for opensource projects and welcome feedback.

You are welcome to create an issue if you like. It would be much appreciated:

What's Changed
Bug Fix: When you would drag the mouse and stop, it would from time to time right click. Which may be annoying.
I added some code to try and ensure that this doesn't happen.

After spending a while to get the server working on arch linux, I found the android client disappointing. Right click doesn't seem to work (assumed long press), and scroll not supported (expected 2 finger scroll to work).

A70%
by A####:

Need time to setting server on ubuntu 16.04, but this work nicely, would be great if keyboard ability added. btw good work .

Works fine, using it as a substitute wireless mouse on a HTPC.

L70%

Worked well with my samsung phone as client over ubuntu laptop as server.. Total 5 stars for under 3 miutes easy setup and thank you for this awesome app!

S70%

I got it setup fine and can move the mouse around however... I cannot click. Also there are no options for mouse sensitivity or anything. 3 stars because while it doesn't quite work for me i imagine if it did it would be okay. Stock/unmodified AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 Active
