Seatsmart Remote Server

This realtime server powers remote functionality within the desktop application Seatsmart.

Scope

When Internet access is available, instructors can use the Remote feature to access basic features from a mobile device. Data is encrypted during transport and this information is not stored in any cloud database.

Core Dependencies

Express JS

repo

Express JS is a "fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node". The framework is used to provide helpful methods for listening for and responding to server requests.

Socket.io powers bidirectional communication within an Express server, providing channels (or "rooms") for a Seatsmart host to communicate with their remote device.
