+# DRW
+
+![Drawing a bird](cover.jpg)
+
+A small app for collecting drawings in real time. Runs on a small express server that connects sources (where to draw) and destinations (where to display) via websockets.
+
+_(hei! this is still work in progress! currently adapting some aspects in the server in order to: a. make it more general, and not strictly related to vvvv, and b. make it possible to have more destinations connected to receive the drawings at the same time)_
+
+## Setup
+
+Clone the repo , move to the directory and install the dependencies using your favourite package manager ([npm](https://www.npmjs.com/), [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/), etc.).
+
+Note that to run the app you will need to install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/), either on your machine or on a VPS.
+
+For example with npm:
+
+```
+git clone https://git.xpub.nl/kamo/drw
+cd drw
+npm install
+```
+
+To start the application run
+
+`node server.js`
+
+or in alternative
+
+`npm start`
+
+Then open your browser to `localhost:3000` and there you can draw.
+
+The app is meant to be open-end, meaning that the destination of the drawing is up to you! (ah ah! less work for us). Originally it was coupled with [vvvv](https://visualprogramming.net/), but it can be implemented with any platform supporting the websocket protocol.
