# StevieWhale
Real-Time Printing Experience
[](https://travis-ci.org/molefrog/steviewhale)
### What is StevieWhale?
_StevieWhale_ — is a web-application the main feature of which is to print tagged photos from Instagram in real-time. The application looks for a photos tagged with special tag and then prints it using one of the connected print stations. The _Print Station_ — is a printer connected through **socket.io** to the main server. Print Station basically holds connection and waits for the print job to arrive.
The most interesting part — you don't know exactly on which print station the photo is going to be printed. The motivation of this project is to make people happy by bringing them the experience of real printed photos.
### Directory Structure
1. `app/` Client-side logic (front-end): scripts, assets, styles, templates etc. The content of this folder is used by Brunch to build `public/` directory.
2. `server/` Server-side logic (back-end).
3. `public/` The folder contains built static files. The files inside this folder are generated automaticaly!
### Building
First of all, make sure you have `node.js` installed.
* Install development tools:
```
npm install -g coffee-script bower brunch
```
* Install both `npm` and `bower` (server and client side package managers respectively) dependencies:
```
npm install && bower install
```
* Build client-side script and assets (using [Brunch](brunch.io) assembler):
```
brunch build --production
```
Hint: use the following command for development, it will refresh page every time client-side files are changed:
```
brunch watch
```
* Launch server-side scripts:
```
coffee server/index.coffee
```
