probably a python script to run in the background. node seems unnecessary for this and apache might not be able to handle this for a large number of users.

Something like Nodejs would be an elegant way to handle websocket connections in comparison to a python script.

Yea I agree, and that's probably the route I will end up going. I just wanted to avoid requiring another dependency to be installed. I can probably just do a PHP script for smaller sized websites and create something in Node if something more robust is needed. Adding the PHP script would make it easier to be installed in a shared hosting environment.

That's also true.
If you need any JS help I can help out (node/front-end).

acjordan2 commented 10 years ago

Yea, actually. That would be fantastic, my JS skills leave a lot more to be desired. Ideally I would like a something that wouldn't break the site if JS was disabled but I will take anything.
