A web-based chat app written using PakyowUI. PakyowUI brings live updating views to Pakyow apps without moving logic to the client. Instead, PakyowUI apps are written in a traditional backend-driven style. No JavaScript was required to build this example app (beyond the pakyow.js library bundled with PakyowUI).
Turn off JavaScript support in your browser and the app still retains its core functionality (without the live updates of course). You get this progressive enhancement for free, without thinking about it during development.
Full documentation will be available soon, along with an official release!
Make sure you have a reasonably recent version of Ruby installed (> 2.0), along with RubyGems and Bundler. Then, install the dependencies:
bundle install
Next, start the app server:
bundle exec pakyow s
You'll find the app running at http://localhost:3000!
