Webapp in node.js to create and manage collections of images

Description

Tuco is a simple application to store images found on the web in collections.

It is written in node.js using the express framework.

It uses also:

• redis as database.
• jade as template engine.
• less to extend traditional css.
• node-imagemagick to create thumbnails.
• forever to keep the server running even if it crashes somewhere.

You can get them via npm.

It includes a Firefox plugin to add an option in the contextual window opened clicking the right mouse button on an image. The plugin tries to access Tuco in the address http://localhost:3000 . You may want to change this.

It is more a pet project to learn node and redis than a complete and polished application. Users have not been implemented, but it is still useful for my personal use ;)

Running it

After getting all the dependences (don't forget that you need a redis server!), you should be able to run bash launcher.sh tuco.js tu use forever or simply node tuco.js.
