Roar is a straightforward microblogging platform built on MeteorJS + Bootstrap. Why build a Twitter clone in 2015? The microblogging software I encountered online was either outdated or frustrating to set up. With Meteor, Roar can be up and running in under 5 minutes. While simple, it has many of the same features that made Twitter so successful, such as hashtags and tagging other users.
#Set Up
- Download Meteor
$ curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh - Clone the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/robertramsey/roar.git - Change to the Roar directory
$ cd roar - Run Meteor. It will take a couple of minutes to download the packages
$ meteor - Navigate on over to
localhost:3000You now have your own instance of Roar going!
#Status Roar is currently in Alpha at the moment. There are some bugs that still need ironing out, and it's not quite mobile friendly yet.
