Chat is a fully working implementation of Jabbify’s chat solution – The Jabbify Comet Service. Jabbify’s service is a http-push solution that is hosted by Jabbify. If you expect less than 15 simultaneous users its free, after that it costs a little bit of money every month, depending on how many users you plan on having.

The service is very easy to work with, all you need to do is to download the their Javascript API and do a couple of GET requests. If you want to start with a working implementation why not download the source code to my demo.

How to get the demo working

Download and decompress the zip file. Open up index.html and start chatting.

Nearly a year ago me and my colleagues started creating a http-push chat solution. The project never got the attention it needed and never got finished. A couple of days ago Jabbify decided to open up their chat client into a Comet service, which made me take up our old project again.

I replaced all the server-side code, the part that took us most of the time, with the Jabbify service. In 30 minutes I had a free and fully working http-push chat solution.

I did some, actually a lot, polishing and refactoring after that, but what you see at http://chat.unwrongest.com is pretty much what I did in 30 minutes. if you like the demo you can download the source code from the project page.
