How to make it multiuser #22

I was able to build the android app and the desktop app. How can we make it multi user / Multi tenant? Any ideas, any guidance?

Displayer is (currently) only the player part. The editing and storing of the display file itself is kept out-of-scope (on purpose).

In my own use case, I store the display file in a Github repo. That way I can give edit rights to other people (when the need arises).

Can you describe a bit more in detail which functionality you are looking for?

Where is the display file and how can I store and share edit from a repository. I understand partly that display file can be in a respository and then access rights given accordingly. But where is the file. Any point out would be appreciated. Can layout be changed as well?

The display file is a JSON file that...

is stored anywhere on the internet. Then you can tell Displayer to load the remote display file.For example, all sample display files are stored in docs/samples.
is stored on your own machine. Then you can upload the display file to Displayer (after enabling the admin server)

I get it about the display file. Is there to send media from outside to the app?

You can't really "send" something to the app. But the display file you are playing can point to remote images. See the images sample.
