Unobtrusive realtime mouse-tracking analytics for node.js
npm install snipesUnobtrusive Realtime Mouse-Tracking Analytics for Node.js
---
- Realtime mousemove, click, scroll, resize, connect, and disconnect observers
- Only broadcast cursor positions to admin, not to other clients. This way visitors won't be bothered with cursor positions they don't care about.
- Works in Safari 3+, Google Chrome 4+, Firefox 3+, Opera 10.61+, Internet Explorer 5.5+
Run server.js in node (see step 4 of How to Use, below) and then open index.html in one browser window and admin.html in another. Try with multiple index.html windows open to test concurrent connections.
npm install snipes
or
git clone git://github.com/jasonbarry/snipes.git
- Paste the following right before your
``js`
- Edit the last line of snipes-admin.js and snipes-client.js from 'localhost' to the URI of your server.src
- Change the attribute of the iframe in admin.html to the path of the page you're observing.node server.js
- Then just and you're good to go! (or nohup node server.js &` if you want it to run in the background)
- Node.js - an event-driven I/O server-side JavaScript environment based on V8.
- Socket.io - client/server communication leveraging HTML5 WebSockets with a Flash-based fallback.
- jQuery - JavaScript library, only needed on admin side.
Please report issues on the GitHub page.

- Cursor positions are not accurate with fluid widths or when the window width is less than the body width
- Filter cursors by user agent, referral page, country, language, etc
- Live heatmaps ala heatmap.js
- Hosting...?
