Helix

Summary

This was a project to illustrate a universal stateful (or stateless) application pattern, started as a companion piece to a half-jesting Gist entitled Grand Unified Theory of Software.

Now, it's growing organically into a review exercise project for putting together my current paradigm patterns for distributed systems with Node.js, Golang, Python, React, Yew, Rust, Redis, Docker, and Kubernetes.

Design and Goal:

Actually, this isn't clear at the moment. I've been thinking generally of setting up some kind of communications network. There are some console-based, stateful nodejs websocket connected chat interfaces. Could do some chatbots as well. Makes sense to set up some browser-based React app chat clients. A Redis database.
Containerization with Docker/Compose and Kubernetes.

I may come up with a more complex idea as I work on it more. Sort of improvising as I go.

The React, NodeJS Chat App

This is copied from a quick (2 hour assignment) chat app I did for a job interview (didn't get the job!?) at https://github.com/kulicuu/quick_chat_app

Instructions to run this:

• Assuming you have NodeJS, Npm, etc you will install Webpack npm i -g webpack webpack-cli and Nodemon npm i -g nodemon
• clone and npm i
• From directory React__Client__Zero run the command webpack -w
• From directory React__Server__Zero run nodemon simple.coffee
• Open a browser to port http://localhost:3003
• Try opening several browser windows to simulate different people chatting.
