demo: Socket To Me : A demo realtime chat app built using NodeJS, NowJS and Titanium

Shameless demo : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l97hEseBmbg

(sorry, not a question - we do need a place to do this kind of sharing)

Here's something I've been dabbling with for the past 48 hours or so. Using NodeJS and NowJS and also Titanium from Appcelerator, I've put together a little sample/demo chat room application on the iPhone and a web browsers.

One cool thing about this is: the server, the client and the app are all written in JavaScript! ;) Nice!

It does a few things you'd expect from a simple chat room… and also something you wouldn't - as a little demo, of course ;)

Watch and see!

Get nodejs and nowjs from here :

  • Kosso: I know this is a bit old, but did you ever release your source for that simple chat program? I am looking to implement node.js, NowJS, socket.io and Titanium Mobile/Desktop and what you did would be great for a starting point. Cheers!

  • Hello, kosso

    Trying to build application using now.js, and I've got a question.

    Hello. Is there any way to Titanium.import('now.js') or you just used webview in your app?

  • Sweet! I've been looking for examples on how to use websockets in Titanium, really interested in seeing how you did that. Without built-in support for websockets in Titanium, I'm guessing it's far from straight forward to make it play nicely with Socket.IO.

    Are you planning on putting it up on GitHub? Or, if you could show the relevant snippets of code here I'd be a happy developer :)

    • I think I found it on my own :) See this question:
      [INFO] socket.io + titanium

      I'm guessing that's what kosso used.

  • Hey Kosso.. You never posted any Code for this. Could please post the app code that would link the Now.js to titanium app. I have my web clients working with node and now, but I cannot hook now.js to titanium.

    Could someone please help me with this issue?
