Any news on the acani chat server to send messages over the network? about chats

Yes, you can. If you have time to Skype this weekend, we could bang it out
in like 3 hrs. We could code for 90 minutes, take a break (like 30 mins) and
then code for another 90 mins. I'll share my screen w you over skype. I
could drive most of the time. You could follow along, keep us focused,
contribute to design decisions, algorithms, etc., and learn some Node.js &
coffee script along the way. Plus, half of it is client-side (Objective-C)
stuff.

Sounds interesting to me. PM me with your Skype ID and I'll give you a call.

Why don't we use an already established solution? Like: http://github.com/lukeredpath/libPusher (http://pusherapp.com)

Nice... looks good... I already have an implementation, but this is also
another option to consider... Thanks!

Alright, a solution which runs on the own server would be much nicer ;-)
If you need a beta tester, just drop me a note.

How about a pair this weekend? Tmr? Sun?

Sun fits me best. I'm currently based in Germany (GMT +2). So we have to find a time where we both are online at Skype.

Another already established solution I found is: http://github.com/honcheng/iOS-nodechat

Sweet... I'll check that out. Thanks for sharing. :)

hey guys, I've just browsed your chat above. I have a solution for your problem. I am a newbie at node.js, just did some node.js/socket.io stuff to make a simple push like app. But dint have the server to run it ? do u know any free server to host node.js/socket.io app ? or even someway to establish vpn between iPhone and my Mac ?

[ma11hew28]

What about Heroku or Nodejitsu?

[lalith-b]

hmmm...!! i tried nodester but was not very helpful. can we have a online chat for doing some code marathon, we think of some idea and do a marathon to finish it ?? would u be interested ?

[ma11hew28]

OK. I'm working on a simple Node.js WebSocket chat server that I will push to a new GitHub repository soon. :-)

Pushed to https://github.com/acani/Chats-Chat-Server

This chat server works, but:

• the Chats iPhone client isn't programmed to connect to it yet
• each user cannot connect to it with more than one device yet
