As an experiment, I’ve developed a basic Xojo-based Web chat application. My goal was to see how quickly and easily this can be done in Xojo using the current Web framework - and it didn’t take very long at all.
Now I’m hoping to see whether or not it can handle load. If you’re interested in helping to test it, please visit: http://chat.timdietrich.me
Please note that the app isn’t running over https (yet).
I want to thank everyone who helped test this morning. I appreciate the feedback.
The app is offline now.
I have a bug to fix that involves the “transcript” text area scrolling when new messages come in. Once I get that resolved, I’ll restart the app for more testing.
As a “thank you” to the community for helping to test the “Xojo Web Chat” experiment back in March, I’ve finally made it available under an open source license.
