It wasn't updating in real time for me in Chrome, I'll give it another try later. Sweet idea!

- sinaiman 16y agoOh I see, it's polling every 30 seconds :) I've tried Orbited on Rails with success, it does fake comet with an easy-to-use Javascript API so you can push messages to subscribed clients. Also looked at Hookbox, which is by the same guy who made Orbited. They're both realllly easy to integrate and use in Rails, and Hookbox can be used from the public HostedHookbox service, meaning you don't actually have to install a Hookbox server if you just want to try it out. ^In case you'd like to add a push feel to this
- akkartik 16y agoThanks for the tip! Yeah we may move to that (and I want to try it out :) but for HN's content-creation frequency polling seems to suffice.
