https://frop.io is a simple application that allows you to present content (PDF presentations, Images, Text files, YouTube videos) on a remote screen without installing any software. It's completely based on web standards (Websockets, JS) and runs in most modern browsers.
Simply start a session by calling frop.io/[yoursessionname]
I built frop.io to be able to use a RaspberryPi as a presentation endpoint but wasn't happy with the existing solutions. This is what I came up with.
The next steps are adding more supported media types and clients for FireTV and Apple TV. Mobile supported is currently very limited, but basic PDF/Image sharing is possible using iPhones and Androids.
Consider frop.io an early preview of what's to come, but I was eager to share this side project and I'm looking forward to your opinions and comments.
Thanks!

It would be nice to have custom URLs (like mycompany.com/presentations/presentation1) and the ability to invite, have private/secure presentations, calendar integration, automated alerts, ability to register meeting notes, pointer sharing and integrated audio conference (maybe using webrtc?).
Screen sharing is somewhat inconvenient for a remote presentation but this can be pure gold. Congrats.
