Is a multiple monitor app possible with Angular 4?

[rob...@leapyear.io]

I realize that one of Angular's claims to fame is that it's a single page app but what if the app has so much data to display that it needs to reside on 2, or even 3 monitors?  Case in point would be an analyst working in Excel.  The very nature of their work might demand multiple spreadsheets open at once and not all of them are going to fit on today's standard monitor sizes.  Another good example is Adobe Lightroom.  When editing photos, it's very useful to have a 2nd monitor open to see the currently edited photo's final result.

So, with Angular 4, is there a way to display an app on multiple monitors?  Does it have support for this?

Hi Robert,

This is more of a question for browser manufacturers, as for this group ;) If you can put your browser over multiple screens, the answer is yes. However, I would do it a tad different. I would open multiple tabs that work in unison. You can do this by using, for example, local storage, and use that to communicate between tabs. However, this is limiting your apps to a single system. If you are thinking big, use WebRTC peer2peer to keep your tabs synchronised. this way your app can span multiple systems. Is that scalable enough for you?

I think all you need to do is open multiple browsers pointing to you app xyz.xom and tile them on one monitor?

Interesting, Sander.  Let me discuss with my colleagues.
