Jeeves is an easy-to-use framework used to create narrowcasting systems. Jeeves is built on top of Meteor, making it a powerful tool for creating data dependent narrowcasting systems.
Jeeves, your personal valet, works by providing developers and enthusiasts alike an easy interface for creating 'slides' and managing the system. Some of the features included with Jeeves are:
- Slide configuration. (when do you want a slide to be shown? For how long? etc.)
- Screen manipulation. (instantly switch slides on registered screen)
- Easy and rapid slide development using Meteor.
- Predefined templates to use with your slides.
A slide is what we define to be the 'view' of the application. You can show any kind of information you want on your slide, be it the number of people currently visiting your website or the number of purchases done through your ecommerce system. The slides can be developed with HTML/CSS/JS.
Slides are, in a way, the plugins of Jeeves. This means that you can download slides other people created and add them to your own installation to fully personalise your narrowcasting system.
You'll need to have nodejs installed before starting.
First, you will need to download and cd to the source code by cloning the git repository:
