#Code Base Overview

The app shows (Subway/BRT/Rail) Lines on the landing page, their direction(Inbound/Outbound).

Click on a line and a direction and get a list of stops with events and issues that are shared real-time across all users. You can add an event/or issue and watch it propagate to other clients

Architecture

Client - client

• Loads subset of Reports into miniMongoDb with events from the line selected.
• Adds issues to the MiniMongoDb on the client machine and pushes back to the master on the server which distributes it to the others.

Server - /lib/server.js

• Runs a service(synchedCronJob) that decrements weights every minute & expires reports

Weight decays by 1 every min. Upvote a report adds 10, with a ceiling of 20.(+10) Downvotes decriment weight by 5(-5) Initial Weight on New Reports is 20 Initial settings for this are found [lib/config.js] Expires Reports that are negative or 0.

• If you submit the same event for the same station, it just adds to the confirms and doesn't allow people to upvote their own submissions (based on session from browser)

MongoDb - /lib/report.js

Has a collection of Reports

Example:

{
   "_id":"3mCEDZ8EsgCeMR8xy",
   "name":"Delayed train",
   "location":"Alewife",
   "line":"Red Line - Northbound",
