Learnento is my end-of-course "thesis".
It's a chatting platform, with realtime messaging and realtime video/voice conferencing.
The project's name stands for Learning English Together, the final goal of this project is to build a service to connect people wanting to make their english skills progress.
As the main features are all the realtime side of this web-app, all the english learning side will be build later.
I'm currently working on the realtime text chat, it should works kinda like the messenger.com like.
Here's what I still have to do later :
- Voice/Video chat with WebRTC
- Currently the user search is fairly basic, it should later suggest people depending on personal infos given by the user (hobbies, country, etc)
- A lot of design, currently the website looks fairly bad
- Ruby on Rails : Used as the backend providing a RESTful API, serving the web-app, and also used for deploying and for the tests.
- AngularJS : Used for the frontend, providing a single-page app
- Socket.io : Enables all the realtime features on the project
- Node.js : Manages socket.io client connections, and speaks with the Rails app through Redis
- Redis : This pub/sub service allows the Rails app and the Node/Socket.io server to communicate through channels
- WebRTC: Used for voice/video conferencing
