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.
