Hey friends! We are happy to share with you a project that I, Nick and Danny have been working on for the last several months (apart from bringing you cool tutorials and articles).
We are officially launching Readonomy – our brand new web application for teams. With Readonomy, you learn who reads what in real time, share, discuss and organize content into collections. It is also a great way to keep a team-wide list of bookmarks that everyone can contribute to.
Readonomy – Shared Reading List
And best of all – it is free and super simple to sign up!
Since this is a technical audience, here are some facts that I am sure you’ll find interesting:
- The app is written in node.js, using an MVC framework that we designed, built on top of express and a number of useful modules.
- It uses server sent events and EventSource to make notifications instantaneous. We chose it over websockets as it is very simple to implement and lighter weight.
- PostgreSQL and Redis are used for storing data.
- The application supports social logins with Google, Facebook and LinkedIn via passport.js
- The frontend is organized into modules, which are bundled together with Browserify (we reuse a number of modules both on the server and client side).
- We set up our VPS so that Readonomy is deployed with a simple git push command, similar to what you use for heroku.
- We have a Chrome Extension, automated tests with mocha, responsive design and lots more.
We will be happy to turn some of these points into tutorials in the coming weeks if you guys are interested!
We consider Readonomy to be in beta for the moment, so you can expect to see a bug or two when using the site and the extension. We also have a lot of ideas which we’d like to implement to make Readonomy a must have productivity tool for the office.
So go ahead, sign up, and tell us what you think!
