Possible to deploy the chat example to deno deploy?
I would like to try running this demo on deno deploy:
https://deno.com/manual@v1.34.0/examples/chat_app

thanks

Deploy supports websockets, but I wouldn't recommend it. SSE is definitely the way to go.
hmm, server side events? interesting. i've been working on websockets to start with since there seem to be a lot of examples out there
i just tried deploying to deploy
i think i must have a problem with the port, because i got this error in my browser:
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at ws://localhost:8080/start_web_socket?username=huh.
would you say you wouldn't recommend it because there is some kind of problem with websockets on deploy, or because you prefer SSE in general?
I prefer SSE in general because of autoreconnect + a simpler API surface
websockets work, but it's just not very fun to set up reconnect
i see, interesting. i will push SSE on my endless stack of things to try 🙂
