Hotwire Rails Demo: Chat

Forked from DHH's Hotwire Chat Demo

What's different?

  • This repository live syncs edits to individual messages, not just creating new messages.
  • As well, this repository has a very primitive message identity system so the user's chatting can see eachother's names.

Running this repo

  • To setup, just run ./bin/setup, then ./bin/rails server, then hit localhost:3000.
  • FYI — This demo application requires redis for websocket communication.
