Plemp!
Create your own online pile of junk! Plemp allows you to upload/put stuff on a single canvas, for sharing, collaging or any purpose you can think of.
Features
- Adding content by means of typing/pasting text
- Uploading of image/music/video/code/text files
- (Re)arranging of the files (not yet persistent cross sessions)
- Some visual effects for eye candy purposes
- Syntax highlighting of source code files
The following feature is planned but has not been ported from the previous Camping/Ruby application yet:
- Distributed management of the arrangement, i.e. everybody viewing the Plemp page will (with some delay) see the same arrangement
Requirements
Plemp! is an Express (on node.js) application, so you need:
- Node.js (>= 0.4.12) with
- Express (>= 2.5.0)
- Connect-Form (>= 0.2.0)
- JQuery (>= 1.7.0)
- JQuery UI (>= 1.8.16)
Installation
For now, Plemp! is in a developing state and not ready for site-wide deployment yet. However, before running, make sure that jquery.js and are available from public/ either by copying or symlinking them there.
