Welcome to TapIt - The NextGen Dance Floor

TapIt is a express, socket.io, Redis PubSub powered application. The aim here was to create a proof-of-concept for probably the next-generation of interactive web applications.

Primary Goals

Entirely web-based i.e. no installation required

Architecture

node - The server-side framework. express.js - The Web server socket.io - WebSocket power Redis Pubsub - Wildcard Push Notification support

Install node, npm and Redis. Install the node modules when you clone this directory.
