Hi everyone, the intention of the project is to simplify interaction with a Raspberry Pi, eliminating the need to connect it to a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to interact with it or having to interact with it through SSH commands from a computer.

The system works by sending actions to be performed through a server running on the Raspberry Pi. The server operates within the local network of a router. The actions currently supported are: executing commands, sending files, and simulating a mouse and keyboard.

The app works by connecting to the Raspberry Pi connected to the Wi-Fi. The Raspberry Pi can connect to the Wi-Fi via Bluetooth. Once connected, the application will have two main parts: the app store and the Raspberry Pi page.

 

 

The store is simply a standard app store, but exclusively for Raspberry Pi apps or projects. Projects can include a guide to assemble them and a list of required products. These two features help new users by simplifying their experience and assist developers by allowing them to sell their products or share affiliate links.

The Raspberry Pi page will display the installed applications and information about the Raspberry Pi, such as storage and temperature. The installed apps will include a page with controls to interact with them. This page will be predefined by developers and will allow users to interact with the Raspberry Pi without connecting any peripherals or needing Linux knowledge. Users won’t be able to modify this page but can create their own interface using components from the different installed applications or by creating their own components if they are Linux-savvy. This allows new users to use the Raspberry Pi without any issues by simply pressing buttons or filling out forms, while more advanced users retain customization options or can perform unique actions.

DEMO

There is still much work to be done, and I hope you like the idea. I don’t intend to take away the spirit of the Raspberry Pi but rather extend it to other people and make it easier for those of us who already use Raspberry Pis, without losing any features. If you want to see more, you can check it out here.

What features do you think I should include? It’s already planned to create a way for the Raspberry Pi to stream to a mobile device to view its screen or, for example, a security camera. I’m also considering adding a system where, when creating a personalized page with components from different apps, you could create a “compilation app.” This app would install the necessary applications and help users find synergies. For example, a user installing Pi-hole might also find it interesting to have Nextcloud on the same Raspberry Pi.

As I said, there’s still much to do. Anything you think should be included or seems necessary, feel free to comment here or on the link.
