Postman is a Google Chrome extension to make sharing links with your friends instant and effortless.

Go install it from the Chrome Web Store

This is the client part. Find the source to the server here.

Like I said earlier, this part is a Google Chrome extension. Therefore, it's built using lovely HTML and JavaScript.

Aside from that, WebSockets are used to communicate with the server by way of the amazing Socket.IO — therefore, when you send something to your friends, you can be sure that they'll get it instantly (providing they're using Postman of course).

There are a few other libraries we use too, such as Underscore.js, jQuery, and jsuri

As we're sure you can see from the commits, this is a little "few-weekends project" gift to the world from two guys who found it too difficult to share links with one another:

• Oliver Beattie

• Adam Collingburn

…and from our company, Emberbox, where we're busily working away building truly awesome products.
