Building an interactive live reaction app with Next.js and Momento🎯

In an effort to enhance audience engagement during online presentations, the author was inspired by Michael Liendo's use of Apple Keynote and WebSockets to create a live reaction app. Lacking a Mac to use Keynote, the author developed a solution compatible with Google Slides, leveraging its simplicity and collaboration features. By using Google Slides' publish-to-web feature and embedding presentations in a Next.js app, the author enabled dynamic support for various presentations without extensive rebuilding. The app utilizes QR codes for audience access to a reaction interface, allowing real-time feedback through emojis and comments, facilitated by Momento's WebSocket management. This streamlined, low-cost approach includes a feature to display fun statistics at the end, such as reaction counts, fostering audience interaction and engagement without significant technical overhead.
