Get a better demo #13

Open zspecza opened 11 years ago

Deploy the demo to Nodejitsu rather than Heroku. It's much better, and dare I say - much easier!

Also, update the README.md to include a notification about Heroku not supporting websockets.

Nodejitsu doesn't seem to be free (over 30 days anyway) so I think it'd be better to stick to Heroku until a free alternative is found. It would be a bit weird to have an open source tool auto-deploy to a paid platform :p I've heard good things about DotCloud

Well we actually have a few options here as it turns out.

  1. I already pay $3 a month for Nodejitsu, so - I can host the demo.
  2. NodeFu became Nodester which was then bought by AppFog - we can use AppFog, it's free for 2GB.
  3. DotCloud seems good enough but I can see it failing in sandbox mode
  4. Socket.io supports cross-origin, so we can use a free instance of Redis To Go, and host the client on Github Pages (implementing this is as simple as changing localhost:5000 to the redis-to-go url)
