Question

Are there any decent example apps for an ruby on rails 3 instant Messenger app based on any of the publish-subscribe messaging system Juggernaut?

• Ways to protect the 1-1 conversation to only visible to those 2 persons in it
• basic frontend implementation

Answer 2

If you are not already aware of it you may also be interested in pusher.com as a 'hassle free' alternative. The only drawbacks are that their free version is limited to a maximum of 20 connections and 100,000 messages per day.

Answer 3

I will be using Faye since it supports direct push. Juggernaut still seems a very nice solution also though
