Cloudspace Mockups

Description

The goal of Cloudspace Mockups is to serve a way of creating and editing mockups collaboratively. Users will create mockups by dragging and dropping different elements on to their canvas. This product has been coded to work with Firefox, Chrome, Safari and the iPad. Cloudspace Mockups can be found at CloudspaceMockups.com

Technical Description

To make this all happen Cloudspace Mockups runs off of node.js, using sockets to allow for the collaboration of many users. The data is passed between the front-end and back-end as json and therefore is stored in MongoDB. Static files are served in nginx in our default setup. Our buddy Jenkins takes care of the continuous integration.
