PaperCups

A small cozy web chat app, like paper cups and a string back in the days. Usually surrounded by lots of French chatter…

Is it a replacement for some of the hosted solutions? No, it’s meant as a minimalistic application that can be hosted on your own server when that’s absolutely necessary.

Install

The vendored Rails is a git submodule, to get it: 

  $ git submodule update --init

Then: 

  $ rake db:create:all
  $ rake migrate

Add some development data: 

  $ rake db:fixtures:load

And it’s ready to be served.

Notes

  • If you want to bookmark the application’s URL in Safari, be sure to bookmark +/session/new+, not a room URL. This is because Safari will maintain the name given to the bookmark as the tab’s title even when it’s updated with new messages count.
