Sure there's plenty of node.js chat systems out there, but this is quite a nice demo of Faye and how easy it is to build with it.
The Node.JS examples shared previously have been more complete systems from what I can tell, this is a very minimal app designed as basis for you to build something bigger and better. Rather than complaining about needing extra features, fork the code and build something fun and worthwhile.
- DTrejo 16y agoCan you talk about faye vs other chat options?
- kaerast 16y agoThe main reason for using Faye is probably the fact that it can run on Node.JS or Rack. This example is running Node.JS, but where Faye really excels is in a Rack environment - adding asynchronous functionality to Rails/Sinatra without needing an extra server running Node.
