This software monitors the #l4rp irc channel on freenode for shared hyperlinks.
It was born out of a L4RP Hackday.
The intention of the software is to display these links somewhere on the L4RP website.
The possible hyperlinks are:
genericfor any old website.codefor code shared as a gist or on pastebin (gists or pastebin).imagefor a hyperlink linking directly to an image.
Links are collected in server memory and a client page requests all of them when its script first starts.
Links which are collected are pushed as an interesting json object to a listening client WebSocket. This client then draws them on the page.
Starts the application. Handles link caching. Handles HTTP fileserving and micro routing.
Does the snooping for links.
Event subscription: foundLink.
Passes a link url.
Actually creates the shared link.
Uses JDOM for scraping out code for Code type links.
Event subscription: expandedLink.
Passes an expanded link.
See link type schema.md
Figures out what type of link it is.
