real-time, in-app notifications and admin for web and mobile via the command line. see it in action
##Usage Sending notifications with Holler is as easy as four steps:
###1. Install a module Holler is built with Node and is distributed as an npm module. If you don't have Node yet, install the hell out of it. Next we just install holler:
npm install holler -g###2. Include Holler
New! Be sure to include the holler.css stylesheet as of v1.9.0:
<link href="PATH/TO/holler/css" rel="stylesheet"/>On the client, Holler can be easily configured to use a specific host and port regardless of the app's http server. This is done via a global hollerConfig object. The holler-client.js script tag should then be included:
<script>
var hollerConfig = {
host: "http://127.0.0.1",
port: "1337"
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="PATH/TO/holler-client.min.js"></script>###3. Start a server The server can be started with an optional port. If no port is specified, it will be defaulted to 1337.
holler-server 1337###4. Holler stuff
Show notifications to all users currently using your app in real-time using holler.js. Notifications use Alertify so they look nice and sexy.
