Overall design

• The app listens to Twitter Stream , and Hubot (IRC).
  • In the browser the twitter stream gets parsed using http://embed.ly to show images, etc.
  • On Server (node.js) Hubot listens for certain messages on IRC and then sends a message to browser via Sockets.io
  • Each message type ("showimage", "addevent", etc) has a handler (javascript) on the browser. if you want to add your own, please do so.
    An example plugin is here https://github.com/piepdx/board/blob/master/app/static/js/plugin.example.js

Running
