Usage
This is the source that you can modify/use on your own and create enhancements on existing LiveNote bundle.
Here's the files you need to keep an eye on:
- app.js: the main application file. LiveNote runs as a Node.js application on the server. The server waits for changes in the note file from its clients (connected computers) and displays changes accordingly.
- index.html: the front page of www.livenote.org. Modify it as you wish.
We found that the ideal suitable time interval for the writing-cursor to be inactive after person 1 stopped writing, was 2 seconds. You can modify it to suit your need.
A few points to remember
- The app.js already supports creation of random URLs as the IDs of your notes.
- LiveNote currently does not use
https. But that shouldn't stop you from trying it out on your own version. - The notes can be accessed if someone tries to guess the note ID and successfully manages to do so. Hence, randomization is preferred and is controllable by code.
- We shipped LiveNote without a signup and login. That was intentional to keep it simple and fast.
