Metome

Metome was designed to be a simple, private personal diary app. It's a real time, single page app for non-social, personal writing. It's a side-project of mine that I've decided to walk away from for now.

I decided to open source the code for future reference. Who knows? it may be something useful to learn from (especially the image upload stuff).

I hadn't gotten around to actually implementing a real front-end, but here was the planned design.

It's not a complete sunk cost though. I learned a lot , and even got a job through it. But it's not like I have no regrets. I wrote a bit about how I decided that the time was right to throw in the towel on my blog.

Starting it up

$ mongod
$ node server.js
http://localhost:3000/metome.html <-- temporary app url

Broadly, what's left to do is

• authenticating socket connections
• client side polish

(There's plenty of other stuff in the issue tracker too.)
