Can anyone recommend a persistent chat plugin for Rails? I'm looking for something close to the persistent chat that is part of etherpad. Juggernaut looks like a possible candidate, but I would like to avoid Flash if I could.

Cheers

Basically you need Socket here (or some imitation). You can use:

  • Ajax polling
  • Flash socket
  • HTML socket

In Rails there is a juggernaut gem wich is NOT A FLASH.

Also Socket.IO is very interesting project.
