rails-websocket-chat

Chat server written in Ruby on Rails & CoffeeScript with the help of Dan Knox' Ruby gem called websocket-rails. It's still pretty rough around the edges, but it's more to document my learning. Feel free to fork it or chat about better ways to do things.

I hope it'll be a helpful resource for those looking to get into websockets, CoffeeScript, and Ruby/Ruby on Rails. My goal is to use as much pure Ruby as possible. Clean & simple.

Upcoming Features:

• Add a Redis & MongoDB database for saving & querying chats.
• Ability to change your screen name.
• DRYing the ChatController with observers or `before_filters'.
• RSpec tests for the Ruby, Jasmine specs for the JavaScript.
• Requests?
