Python Websockets Example: Chat

This is a simple application that serves tasty WebSockets to your users with Flask, Flask-Sockets, Gevent, and Gunicorn.

Check out the live demo or read the docs.

Notes

• To set the origin url from the heroku-examples repo to mine, I ran git remote set-url origin <MY_URL>
• To see what apps were running in Heroku I ran heroku _. I saw that I needed to create a new app for this websockets chat platform, and I ran heroku create. Once I had the app name from that heroku create process, I ran heroku addons:create heroku-redis:hobby-dev which added a Redis db to my app.
