title: Ruby on rails and Node.js
body: <p>I am wondering how to integrate node.js on a rails app (for learning purpose).</p>
  
  <p>Based on Michael Hartl tutorial (<a href="http://railstutorial.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://railstutorial.org/</a>) I realized a basic twitter clone with rails and want to get user microposts in real-time without the use of comet or juggernaut. (the application is hosted on heroku)</p>
  
  <p>For the moment, I only see example with node.js frameworks (<a href="http://howtonode.org/grasshopper-shoutbox" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://howtonode.org/grasshopper-shoutbox</a>) but nothing merged with a ruby on rails app.
  I would be very thankful if someone knows a good tutorial or give me some points to start in order to accomplish this.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks! </p>
