Real-time Rails with Sync
summary
Live demo shows a Rails app turned real time by adding chrismccord/sync, wiring browser websockets with faye + thin + foreman, and marking models with sync_all plus scoped sync partials and sync.touch post to propagate subresource changes. The claim is concrete: server-rendered partials push HTML to all clients without rewriting the frontend in heavy JS. It mostly works in real time on multiple browsers but is touchy and occasionally duplicates updates, used successfully for internal monitoring but needs careful scoping and permission handling.
