I built JH Mirror: Apple-style Continuity for my MacBook + Galaxy S23 Ultra

So a quick background, I have been doing web coding since 2024 and I have already built a lot of interesting projects. But this one is different because it is for my own daily use. I use a MacBook for my daily productive work. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. And the problem is simple, because it is not an iPhone, I never get the Apple ecosystem stuff. No easy file transfer, no using my phone camera on my Mac, no notifications on my laptop, no mirroring. So I decided to just build it myself with web coding.

The app is called JH Mirror. In a few days I got a very good success. Now I can mirror my phone screen on my Mac, browse phone files, media and apps, use my phone camera and microphone on my Mac (through OBS Virtual Camera + BlackHole), get my phone notifications on my Mac, sync clipboard both ways with auto-copy, and even turn the phone screen off while using it.

Basically the same feeling as the iPhone + Mac combo, but with Android.

Honestly I did not expect it to work this well this fast.

If people are interested, I will definitely share the full software / project I made, how I built it, and what still needs fixing.

Let me know if you want to see it.
