James on Software: Introducing Action Messager: Dead simple IM notifications for your app!

  • Carl Mercier · 1 year ago
    This plugin rocks! I guess sending the notifications in a background process (bdrb?) might be a good solution to speed things up. Or maybe you could write a very simple daemon that runs in the background (a la postfix).

    Just a question... when do you sleep?

    James, I don't think speed is an issue. I am using starling (from twitter) to process long requests and it's surprisingly rock-solid and stable.

    also to connect to other IM services, you should look at what the guys from timmyontime did.

    Thanks for the snippet. It's just what I needed.

    Definitely an interesting problem trying to figure out how to tap users on the shoulder when something important happens.

    For an additional solution, check out Stitcho.com.. Stitcho allows a web app deliver an alert to a user's desktop delivered through a Mac or Windows desktop widget.
