Building TouchSlides: A Real-Time Presentation Remote on Cloudflare's Edge
In the era of remote work and online presentations, speed and interactivity are key. TouchSlides was born out of that need — a real-time presentation remote running directly on Cloudflare's global edge network.
This article will discuss how the project was built, its architecture, and why Cloudflare Edge is the ideal solution for performance and scalability.
⚙️ What Is TouchSlides?
TouchSlides is a web-based presentation remote application that allows presenters to control slides in real-time using any device — whether a smartphone, tablet, or laptop.
Its main focus is low latency, fast response, and synchronization between devices without traditional servers.
☁️ Why Choose Cloudflare’s Edge?
Cloudflare offers a global network of Edge Functions (Workers) that allow application logic to run closer to users.
With this approach:
No central server required.
Responses are sent from the nearest node.
Automatic scalability without additional infrastructure configuration.
This means every click or swipe from a user can be broadcast almost instantly to the entire audience — wherever they are.
