[OpenSource] CidLink for Max - A Max Package for easy client/server reliable connectivity over the internet (even on strict NAT and Mobile)
CidLink is a tool to make real-time communication as easy as possible for Max users. It is built with the digital divide in mind, allowing a reliable experience even on mobile/slow commercial networks.
CidLink is a room based, server/client open source project built with the NodeJS library of SocketIO. Both server and client are available in Javascript and as a Max package to allow new technologies performers and coders to exchange messages or data on a distance without having to deal with user-side network configuration.
It can be used for any kind of message and event communication, from realtime chat applications to multi-user cooperative advanced applications such as CidReader, a cooperative PDF reader which uses Cid Link to connect its users.
The project was possible thanks to the support of Tempo Reale (temporeale.it)
