Open Source CoffeeScript Video Software

Graphene is a real-time dashboard and graphing toolkit built with D3.js and Backbone.js. It was originally designed to sit on top of the Graphite data model and API, enabling teams to quickly build live dashboards that show thousands of datapoints updating over time. The project provides a highly customizable and hackable client-side engine: you define “widgets” such as time series graphs, gauges or labels, hook them to data providers, and the toolkit handles ingestion, rendering and live updates. While the code is somewhat dated (it uses Backbone + CoffeeScript/JavaScript rather than newer frameworks), it remains useful for legacy setups or teams wanting to build simple real-time dashboards without heavy infrastructure. The repository includes example dashboards and a builder API to define data sources and widget configurations. It also emphasises aesthetic and performance considerations, aiming to support thousands of data points and live refreshes in the browser.

This project is a streaming media server built on Node.js that supports both RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) and RTMP (Real Time Messaging Protocol). It enables users to set up a lightweight streaming infrastructure for delivering live video or audio across networks without relying on heavy external servers. By implementing these protocols in Node.js, it offers easy integration with JavaScript applications and rapid prototyping for developers working on real-time streaming. The server can be used in surveillance camera setups, broadcasting workflows, or low-latency streaming systems. Because Node.js is event-driven, the implementation is designed for handling concurrent client connections efficiently. It’s especially useful for developers who want a minimalistic streaming server for experimentation, custom deployments, or embedding into larger applications.
