What is coffeescript-twitter-streamer?

This project is a small, experimental app that displays a live stream of tweets directly in your web browser. Tweets appear on the page in real time as they are posted to Twitter, so you can watch updates roll in without needing to refresh or click anything. At a high level, the app bridges two things: Twitter's live data feed and your browser. A small server runs in the background, connects to Twitter using your account credentials, and listens for incoming tweets. When a new tweet arrives, the server instantly pushes it to your browser using a technology designed for real-time updates. The code is written in CoffeeScript, which is just a friendlier way to write JavaScript that then gets converted into standard JavaScript before running. The intended audience is really just the creator himself, who built it as a learning exercise to get comfortable with CoffeeScript and server-side JavaScript. That said, someone who is also learning those technologies might find it useful as a reference. A beginner could look at the code to see a simple, concrete example of how to connect a backend server to a live external data source and then forward that data to a webpage in real time. To run it yourself, you would need to provide your own Twitter API credentials, which the app uses to authenticate on your behalf. Beyond that, the README points to some external documentation but does not go into detail about what the browser interface actually looks like or whether the app lets you filter tweets by keyword or user. It is a toy project, so expectations should be kept modest.
