Catpic

1) Create ./images/ directory
2) Install the python modules mentioned in requirements.txt
3) Install "imagesnap" (available from Homebrew) and Imagemagick (we need the "convert" command for jpegs)
4) Run `python3 catpic.py`
5) Browse to http://127.0.0.1:3000/

The application uses a websocket to push new frames to clients. The initial frame is loaded from /latest.jpg.
