This is a very basic app that allows sending direct URL (not local file yet) from desktop to Google Chromecast.

Was implemented using:

• Node.js, Atom Electron, node-castv2-client
• Facebook React
• The very basic components from Material-UI & Flexbox Grid
• Gulp task runner, Babel

Mainly, the project may showcase how this may work together.

# local dependencies, may take some time
npm install

# launch via electron
npm start

# build binaries for Desktop
gulp build
# build binaries, OS specific only
gulp build:osx
gulp build:win

# build front-end only
gulp build:ui

npm install
npm install -g tsd
tsd install node
tsd install react-global

This stuff seems useful, feel free to contribute with a PR (not sure when will have time to implement):

• Do not connect immediately, choose from menu
• Seek bar
• Translations
