This could feel like "Rails for Realtime" even though it's backend isn't in Ruby. Very useful if you are writing real-time web applications.
What we really need to clinch native development is a common protocol to device's user notification streams. Imagine if mobile Safari and Android both surfaced their notification mechanisms through a standard Javascript API. Technologies like Node.js and frameworks like NowJS are primed for platform independent integration as soon as "tabs" or Javascript environments can run in the background.
- jschrf 16y agoHaving a standard API for doing realtime notifications across devices would be great, but running Javascript in the background of a mobile device and exchanging JSON or XML sounds like a good way to chew through battery life.
