massive archer (random github name)

Just a simple demo of a few technologies mixed up together...

• Websockets for both javascript and Tornado (Python)
• Filereader API for javascript
• Camera / Fileuploader for mobile (only android... for now..)

what does it do?

The basic idea is to take a picture with a mobile phone (android for now) and it will instantly be uploaded to all desktop web browsers that are currently open on the /browsers webpage. Websockets allows us to get rid of long polling and other annoying "old school" methods. This app is quite simple and light, just the way it should be. :)

how to install?

1. get tornado, it's awesome!
2. clone this awesome repo
3. open up port 8889 or change the port from the run_me.py
4. cd to folder and python run_me.py

how to use?

• on your phone.. browse to the your_url/phone
• on your browser.. browse to the your_url/browser

• take a picture on the phone.. and watch it instantly get uploaded to the browser..

Any restrictions on the code?
