Remote i3-wm WS

This project is a POC for managing a GNU/Linux desktop (with i3-wm). It implements an interface for running:

• amixer
• i3-msg
• xdotool
• playerctl
• import

It allows you to:

• change the i3-wm workspaces
• manage volume and spotify
• send text and shortcuts
• move the pointer, scroll and click
• make a screenshot and show the live screen

…by using a web interface with your phone.
