@davidalejandroaguilar sadly Volt is no longer active. Instead you might want to take a look at http://ruby-hyperloop.org/ or https://github.com/clearwater-rb.
@davidalejandroaguilar Volt really got me into and hooked on client side Ruby. Inspired by Volt I’ve put together my own full stack framework RoBE (Ruby on Both Ends). I’m a bit reluctant to publicise as it’s still early days (though used in a beta prodution app). If you’re interested please take a look at https://github.com/balmoral/robe.
Nevermind, I couldn't find it on the documentation, but they do have a chat app example
@davidalejandroaguilar WebSockets are pretty fantastic with PowerStrip https://github.com/clearwater-rb/power_strip It's basically the Pusher API running inside your web server, but without the 10KB size limit per message.
I've also had success using per-connection channels so that, instead of sending HTTP requests, you can send messages to the server via the WebSocket, which then get passed off to Sidekiq workers to be processed, and the Sidekiq worker can make the PowerStrip broadcast calls to send any messages in response to the client.
To clarify, it doesn't truly "broadcast" since there's only one client on that channel in that case. :-)
@davidalejandroaguilar I haven't documented the per-connection channel strategy yet, but I'd like to because it's really not an obvious way to do things, but if you have any questions about it I'd be happy to answer them over in the Clearwater channel https://gitter.im/clearwater-rb/clearwater
@/all Hey everyone. Two things. First, I still hope to come back to volt someday, but most likely it won't be anytime soon (sorry) For those of you who weren't in the loop, I had to abandon volt for something that could pay the bills. That project (witharsenal.com) is doing really well, which brings me to... We're looking for [remote] senior ruby developers. If anyone is interested in chatting, PM me on here. Thanks!
@ryanstout Hey, people are still talking about volt: https://blog.phusion.nl/2018/08/30/rails-still/ (scroll down)
had to pay the bills unfortunately
i always wanted to try volt
@LemonAndroid what are you working with currently?
I also did my fair share of php and a bit of python in the past few months
ruby is really superior
something like glitch.com for voltrb would really spike adoption i think
the convenience factor goes a long way
yea
I've been out of web dev for a few years now. I keep hoping it will be better when I come back :-)
may I ask what you are doing if not web dev?
founder of witharsenal.com
probably going to be a while before I can work on any frameworks again
and the iOS app is rubymotion, the android app is react native
