try out the nodeMirror 0.2 technology demo

git clone https://github.com/soliton4/nodeMirror
cd nodeMirror
git checkout 0.2.x
git submodule init
git submodule update
npm install
node index.js --port 3000

-> go to http://localhost:3000/

the directory is still fixed to process.cwd()
the only thing implemented is the tree

the interesting things are the offline / online management and the synchronisation of the tree
try to:

• stop / start the server
• add a directory / delete a directory (be careful not to delete actually used sources)

the reconnect management survived a day offline in combination with my pc running out of memory. so i assume it is pretty robust. but you are welcome to try and break it ;)
