Tech

Since it was rewritten from Tornado, its been javascript all the way down:

  • Node.js
  • MongoDB
  • Socket.io
  • Javascript

Future

This was written in a few weeks as an educational exercise for myself and so is poorly structured and probably not too secure.

  • I'd love to rewrite this with now.js, which would be an awesome tool for this kind of a project.
  • Redis would make a much more efficient database engine for this purpose.
  • Since this was written I've fallen in love with CoffeeScript, and would rewrite this with CoffeeScript on both the front and backend.
  • Get android support, with their different touch API
