When we were all WFH'ing during Covid, I couldn't stand listening to presenters saying "Next slide please" over and over. We use Google Meet at work and it doesn't provide any way to give others control of your desktop or slides. So I built a Chrome extension that allows multiple users to control a Google Slides presentation from within Google Meet. It's only got about 2K installations, but people have simulated almost 250K slide clicks with it in the past 3 years. So this is probably my most impactful contribution, especially on my own mental health having to never hear "Next side again".
