Real Time Twitter Stream with Node and React

This is a fork of the code repository for the awesome tutorial by @kenwheeler: Build A Real-Time Twitter Stream with Node and React.js. I've tinkered a bit with this code:

• CoffeeScript instead of plain JS
• ReactJS >= 0.12
• Flux
• Redis instead of MongoDB
• various refactorings

Requirements

• nodejs
• npm
• redis

## Live Demo

I've put a live demo on heroku

5. Start redis server
6. Start the app with npm start (or gulp dev if you want to tinker)
