A nodejs application turns your smartphone into a simple touchpad for the temporary replacement of a broken mouse. It allows you to control the mouse pointer without any 3rd-party apps installed on your phone by reaching the local address.

git clone <repo> mobile-touchpad
cd mobile-touchpad
npm install

To start the server with default port 3000, run

npm start

Or with your custom port

npm start --port=<PORT>

Once the application is launched, you have to connect your device to the same local network and reach the address http://server_address:PORT or scan the QR code.

Only one device can connect to server per time.
