Hey i just installed NPM on one of my servers and wanted to know what packages you guys suggest I install! Im looking at making a message sharing and streaming type of service mainly so i can learn more about programming.
Thanks!
If you're going to make a chat application, then websockets is a pretty common pick. socket.io is fairly popular for that. WebRTC is another interesting web technology to pick for such a project. I haven't really messed with any libraries for that so no recommendations.
For video streaming you don't need any library, just an understanding of the NodeJs stream module and how to get it working for html5 video players.
