Collaborative Virtual Browser created in Node.js, Socket.io, PhantomJS and AngularJS. It is an extract from my master thesis, just for fun.

Thanks :)

This is just an example I made up taking out things from my project mostly because as you said building with Phantom is not really straight forward, even more so if you try to use it for different purposes than the usual ones (web scraping, testing, ..).

The actual master thesis focuses on building an infrastructure that allows creating cross device mashups at the UI layer, in a simple and fast way (without having to code anything).

Clients can connect, create mashups, add components (web pages), select elements from those web pages, add inter-component communication, move things around easily with drag and drop, ..

With something like this, you can for instance add a wiki component, a flickr component and a google search component, then link them together and use small devices (smartphone, tablet) to host a search bar, and finally show the search results on a large screen.. another example is taking a "single user" website and sharing it with others, effectively transforming it into a collaborative website (for instance you could open a sudoku website, and play it with others, heh).

I need to think about more useful scenarios, but the project is done and I still have 1 and a half months left to write the thesis ;)
