Tornado

i've been looking at a number of ways to build out a little app that at first both myself and @dayleeo will use, self hosted in the cloud and just using open source software. i found a cool little webserver that might be just what we need, it's called tornado.

Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library, originally developed at FriendFeed. By using non-blocking network I/O, Tornado can scale to tens of thousands of open connections, making it ideal for long polling, WebSockets, and other applications that require a long-lived connection to each user.

originally built by friendfeed (remember those guys?) i've been trying to hunt down various software that would help me realise this project, most of the stuff was really high level but this python web application framework might be the way to go, i'm not sure i i can wrap it in an electron wrapper or if i'm going the wrong way about it but either way, i got it working and recording and saving locally.
