HotPi is a web application for patient documentation, which ensures availability even if no connection is available at all without compromising the state of the application. If a connection is available in all devices, a Google-Docs-like workflow can be experienced.
HotPi leverages the browsers' APIs to bring the following features:
- Real-time collaborative work
- Offline mode
- Interactive UI
- Support of mobile devices
A NodeJS instance is needed to fetch all the dependencies. If you don't have one, you can get it with nvm or directly on NodeJS website.
HotPi's underlying technology to maintain consistency is Operational Transformation(OT). OT is also used to support real-time collaborative work.
On the server, an Express.js server application is running to synchronize the state between all the clients, as well as keeping the only source of truth of the data.
MongoDB is used for the data storage.
To fetch dependencies run
npm install
on a terminal session.
After the dependencies have been fetched run
npm start
to run the development server.
