We saw that the current web frameworks available today for microbloggers i. e. WordPress were monatomic, overly engineered , and did not support real-time micro blogging. Impress tries to find a modern solution to real-time micro blogging. Simply put, what would a platform like wordpress look like, had it been invented today using today’s web stack?
Impress is our take on real-time micro-blogging. - Modular. Web services may use the default web components or swap out for a prefered component.- Small code base. The framework stays light via outsourcing components.
- Real time. Content posts propagate at the rate of instance messages.
- Modern. Uses RESTful API and the MEAN stack i.e. [MongoDB](http://www.mongodb.org/), [Express.js](http://expressjs.com/), [Angular.js](http://angularjs.org/), and [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/). - [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) - [MongoDB](http://www.mongodb.org/) - [Express.js](http://expressjs.com/) v3.1.0 - [Angular.js](http://angularjs.org/) - [Jade.js](http://jade-lang.com/) (latest version) Start using the framework by cloning the repository and running the npm commands to grab dependencies. Use npm start to launch the server. Connect to [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) to view the page.
