Suggestion: let some more people know about this project #25

I have been using this lib in a beta version of our product. I know it's still very early days, but based on my experience, compared to other alternatives I feel this is by far the best option out there (for socket.io 1.0+ and iOS 7 and up obviously).

@nuclearace you know @rauchg, or at least have an online rapport with him. I see that the Socket.IO FAQ only mentions SIOSocket, and I feel like this project should definitely be up there as options for iOS.

Thoughts?

Well we did do http://socket.io/blog/socket-io-on-ios/

I can ask him to add it the list though.

Very cool, I haven't seen that blog post yet, thanks for sharing.

I agree with @naartjie . We have looked at all alternatives we could find, but this is the best option. SIOSocket cannot keep up performancewise (possibly because it does this JS evaluation "magic", see https://medium.com/@ryAn_Hdot/real-time-environments-f3fdc961581 ) and other libraries are not up to date with socket.io 1.0+ (and also their interface is less convenient). It should definitely be mentioned in the FAQ as an option for iOS.
