• Syntax highlighting code editor (using Ace)
• Live edit merging via operational transforms
• Load files from GitHub repositories
• Audio and video through WebRTC

Pairjam has two separate components: the client and server.

The client consists solely of static files, which means it can be served quickly and cheaply on a CDN (pairjam.com assets are hosted on GitHub pages).

The server is a Node.js WebSocket server that can run on one or more separate machines.

The stack:

• WebSocket (for communication)
• WebRTC (for peer-to-peer audio/video)
• Browserify (for node-style requires)
• React (UI framework)
• Gulp (task runner)

The stack:

• Node.js with following modules:
• ws (for WebSocket)
• winston (for logging)
• node-github (for GitHub integration)

In order to integrate the server with GitHub, a GitHub API public key and secret are needed. These should be placed in a file called github_api_secret in the /server directory, with the following form:

module.exports = {
	'client_id' : 'YOUR CLIENT ID',
	'client_secret' : 'YOUR CLIENT SECRET'
};

If the server does not find this file upon loading, rate requests will be limited to GitHub's unauthenticated limit.
