It would take 30 minutes to modify the Node.JS and Socket.IO examples into a usable, IRC-like chat server.

Every programmers underestimate complexity. Based on what you think it is easy. But when you look into more details, 30 minutes of work include code highlight, notification, responsive design, etc?

I think you're discounting the weeks of effort that went into writing the ember front-end, css, and the backend business logic for a full-fledged "Team Chat Application".

Suggestion: Have messages instantly appear in chat (maybe with a loading icon to one side) when uses hit enter/send... then display an error if it fails to reach the server. Not enter ........ message appears. It'd make the app feel much more responsive.

someone already changed the demo account password

Perhaps. Although I just tried a fresh install on my own Heroku instance, and the default password is not working there either.

Works fine from here. I just tested by deploying an app.

Make sure the last command is run when you copy-paste the commands. That is what creates the admin user and the sample room. admin@example.com and password is "password".

Also, I've now disabled editing the account details on the demo app (the password was being changed frequently). So it should be fine from now on.
