Show HN: Sync – Realtime partials with Rails • Hacker News Board

I just pushed out the official release this weekend and don't have any apps yet running in production. My goal is to have people start building out apps and support any uncovered use cases that crop up. Having said that, there's no reason this can't be run in production and I plan on deploying a couple example apps so people can play around.

awesome, great way to spike out real time behavior in minutes.

Looks neat. I actually would have made use of this a couple of weeks ago, but I'll keep it in mind if we rewrite that section of the app (as the current solution isn't quite as elegant).

This is brilliant, looking forward to using this. Is this in use anywhere?

This looks perfect for a current project with a quite a bit of jQuery and partials. I may just redo using Sync. Do you have any recommendations for using on Heroku? Should I just use Pusher? Also does this work with Rails 4?

Faye will gladly run on Heroku with a foreman process, but I think Pusher is a tough choice to beat to get you up and running quickly. Sync does indeed support Rails 4. In fact, the demo app in the screencast is a Rails 4 app :)

Looks neat, but I am curious why you would pick such an overused name for the project. Perhaps call it PartialSync, or something you could google?
