Is Faye "simply" a publish/receive system for messages or can you build entire rich applications with the combination Rails/Faye?
Part of my website is a fantasy league draft room.
The room itself needs to be programmed to do certain things at certain intervals; such as allowing each team captain 15 seconds to pick a player for his team from a list, before moving on to the next player.
The room also needs to safeguard access; only those teams that are in the league may access the room, and only at a certain date/time.
Can I program all these actions in a Faye setup? Or will I be better off getting this built in Node.js as a realtime app that communicates with my rails app?
Need a nudge in the right direction...
