nere

A location-based chat application written with node.js and socket.io.

Use

nere is a web application that automatically creates chatrooms based on your physical location.

The client's location is given by the browsers using the navigator.geolocation HTML 5 specification. Thus this app will not work in all browers (especially non-modern ones). However, it is designed to revert to using IP address if the location cannot be accurately determined to be within 100 m.

Development

nere was developed with node.js and socket.io using the Express 3 and Jade frameworks. The application is hosted on Heroku.
