Why do these kind of tools have tendency to appear on HN about a month too late? :)

WebSocket book(oracle press) at the beginning of this month, TogetherJS a few days ago and now GoAngular/Instant. For me the timing couldn't have been better. TogetherJS has references to hosting your own server, but I couldn't find something similar on GoInstant. I am still digging around on their site though.

BTW, what did you end up doing? Did you build something of your own? Any gotchas you would like to share? I am investigating if Nginx will co-operate with the websocket connections and what will be the price of maintaining live connections to a bunch of clients. I am kind of inclined to build and run my own server...

sounds like angularjs with golang backend,kind of irritating :/

My first impression is that it is like extending the two-way binding of AngularJS across the wire. Not sure though...

That is pretty much bang on Kops :)

so it's an instant way of hosting go? I think not.

GoInstant isn't related to Go (the programming language), just has "Go" in the name of the company. It's a realtime, collaborative stack.

totally agree with you, but why take the name GoAngular? now a protect that ties go and angular can't be called goangular

You don't need a server, we offer our realtime collaborative stack as a service. We're cooking something up right now similar to TogetherJS, if you'd like a sneak peak drop me a email (in my profile).

If you want to build and host your own realtime application take a look at HAProxy (tcp mode in 1.4) for load balancing the incoming websocket connections to your application stack. There has been a lot of success using Node.js with engine.io, socket.io, or take a look at the meta Primus module.

This looks awesome. I just signed up for GoInstant, won't have time to play with it for a bit but now the signup email should remind me :)

Thanks Tehwebguy, I'd love to hear your feedback once you've had that 'reminder' ;)

Thanks a lot for all the pointers. Really appreciate it.

BTW any plans to zero-in on the pricing anytime soon? I saw that for one app you will always keep it free, but it will be nice to know what happens beyond that..

We're working on pricing now. No timetable at the moment, but you do get 1 app for free. We know its really important and we're working on it now.

We'd be happy to talk to you further about it and get your feedback.
