Interesting....
I am still working on the kinks for Live Chat here at unix.com using a publish-subscribe API from PubNub. Two days ago while working on it, a new user joined the live chat and asked about how to post a new thread in the forum. Then today, one of the members of the PubNub team found our Live Chat link (a surprise to me) and updated the status of a support ticket we have open with them:
The system is starting to work; however, there are things to do:
- Debug why the live chat page often needs a reload to render in the browser.
- Debug why the vue.js PubNub API is buggy and presence works but intermediately.
- Add "who is in live chat" and other features as I debug.
Basically, it works but not as it should to be very usable.
I think the way ahead is to comment out the
vue-pubnub API and use the standard
PubNub SDK. The only way I was able to get chat history to work was to bypass the
PubNub vue.js API and use the
plain Javascript SDK API.
Thanks to PubNub for their support. Working with their tech support team has been helpful, for sure. Also, their team has been following up and has taken a interest in our project, which is nice of them.
