Hi all.
Need advices how to implement a chat system with Corona SDK.
I reseach a bit and found out about Quickblox, pusherhub, pubnub, appwarp and noobhub. i think all of them let integrate a chat system with corona sdk.
My question is, any of you out there already made a chat system? if so, what route did you took, and why?
I dont have time to test them all, so any feedback about this I appreciate.
Regards,
Carlos.
P.S. If there other solutions for creating a chat system please share with us 
I have used Parse and PubHub which are all good but after that I decided to go with my own implementation:
Corona - <Nancy> - C# backend
Nancy is basically a HTTP Framework but it’s really fast and lightweight and it made it two things possible:
* Lowered cost (no need pay Parse or PubNub)
* My own security settings such as encryptions and no storage of message (even though Parse and PubNub features encryption and doesn’t storage messages you never be sure in these NSA days of madness)
Best regards,
Tomas
Thanks tomaswesterlund for your fast reply.
I will only need an app. all the chat rooms will be done in the app. i will not need a backend app.
will I be able to create rooms in the app using parse or pubnub? i tested appwarp in a little app i’ve made. i was able to make a little chat app, but rooms where done in the appwarp backend. my clients will not have access to that, so i will let them create their own room chats in corona.
the costs of the chat rooms will be paid by my client, so i would prefer a easiest aproach. if you could send me a demo code using parse or pubnub i would appreciate so i could learn from there. i tried pubnub demos but they are all buggy and using old code of corona.
Regards,
Carlos.
P.S. I will study Nancy framework, maybe i will use it in future projects. Thank you
I used my own way to store the data so I didn’t use Parse and PubNub that extensively but I remember that I saw information about storing the data at their end:
