Hello World

Hello! My name is Robert and I am the developer working on Chromemote. I would like to share with the world a little bit of what I have been working this year. Chromemote is a highly customizable GoogleTV Remote application that runs as an extension inside of the Google Chrome web browser. Now with Chromemote all your computers running Google Chrome become universal remotes, no matter what operating systems you prefer or work between.


The project initially started as an effort to port the GoogleTV Remote for Android to a Google Chrome Extension for my own personal use. I quickly saw where improvements could be made, so I ended up writing the whole app from scratch. I used only the images from the GoogleTV Remote for Android App as the initial Chromemote skin. Chromemote is still under development and I plan to have the initial public version released this summer.


Chromemote current features in progress:
Control Multiple Devices
Quickly Switch Between Devices
Fling Current Tab URL to TV
Add/Remove Button Panels
Rearrangeable Buttons
