Web Chat, implemented as a single page application using cutting edge technologies.

The current technological stack consists of:

• RActiveJS – Mustache oriented DOM manipulator for our UI needs.
• Backbone – Acts as a plugin to RActiveJS in order to form UI Models and Collections.
• Node.JS – I/O oriented server.
• Socket IO – Pub-Sub engine for data traversal between the chat users.
• Redis – Key-Value database to persist ExpressJS web sessions.
• MongoDB – Document database used for data persistence.

Status

The basic functionality and UI of the chat have been implanted.

Present tasks:

• Add cluster support.
• Finish up code TODOs.
• General code cleanup.

Future tasks:

• Use web rtc for private calls (text/audio/video).
• Add more UI features:
• Filter by age/gender.
• Find by name.
• Save chat content.
• Image sharing.
• File sharing.
