[libreoffice-design] Re: Design/ UX advice for my GSOC project

So we have

* Eve wants to _manage_ her presentation on a web browser to flexibly control it from everywhere, 
eg without adequate interface. 
* Eve wants to run the remote control primarily on _touch screens_ and systems without keyboard.
* Eve wants to _start_, _stop_, _pause/resume_ timed presentations, go to _next/previous_ slide, 
and _jump_ to a particular slide as primary functions.
* Eve also wants to "select slide mode, swipe mode, blank screen, resume from blank screen"... (no 
idea why she wants this).
* Eve wants to get _feedback_ on the presentation status and when the connection is lost as this is 
crucial for remote interactions.

I wonder how to load a presentation. Wouldn't you expect to connect to some service where all odp's 
are listed and you pick one? What I could imagine as a use case is some kind of advertising 
installation where your slides starts over the whole day and you just check the proper function.

My mockup at https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/s66wtgP76YDpbCD has three sections: on top 
a ControlsBar containing icons with labels for the primary functions and a (hamburger) menu for 
secondary things, a PreviewArea where the currently shown slide is highlighted and the slides are 
indicated by names, and below a StatusBar that lists all respective information in a known way - 
and becomes red in case of errors. The Balsamiq file for this image is at 
https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/biXXbZwPLnCCoPL

Comments are welcome.

Cheers,
Heiko
