Command line based open source web chatroom
An idea to combine:
- command line (telnet talker) interface
- Node.js
- HTML5
The big idea is to work on a interface for webapp where all the commands are insterted via keyboard. This enables fast creation of functionality without being stuck in the design and user implementation phase.
- Assuming you have node and npm installed
- download the package or
- git clone git@github.com:451ee/t.git .
- sudo npm install
- I tend to get "node-gyp rebuild 2> builderror.log" but nevertheless the stuff seams to work
- go to yourdomain:3001
- basic configuration and database is in conf.js
- /public/stylesheets/fonts.styl - I use it to keep several installations with different fonts.
HEROKU: heroku labs:enable websockets heroku addons:add mongolab
DATABASE:
Either start with:
"USER='xxx' PASS='xxx' HOST='xxx' DB='xxx' DBPORT=xxx COLLECTION='xxx' node t.js"
or edit conf.js with accurate database credidentials.

Spring 2013 Humble beginnings: https://github.com/451ee/t
- I think the text based user interface deserves another go.
- "Rooms" could be used for group chatting.
- I started talking with two friends from a telnet talker I used to visit more than 10 years ago and it felt good to talk with them.
