You mean currently logged in users? What have you tried so far? – simonmorley Jan 06 '13 at 01:38

Forget about sessions. The best soluton is http://stackoverflow.com/a/21396780/5048945 Redis doesn't use your database. it fast and works fine. – mmike Mar 18 '16 at 13:03

Google and stackoverflow are your friends:
There appears to be a gem for this and has been asked a lot.

these solution and other answers provided me to check if the user is online and was online since 1 min ago or more ,,but if the user close the browser or the session destroy the user is still online with all of these approaches – Remon Jan 06 '13 at 09:03

Your question is not clear. Perhaps consider being more descriptive to get better answers. That's probably why you got marked down. Moreover, I don't think finding your immediately connected users has anything to do with devise. Your app would need to poll them instead. – simonmorley Jan 06 '13 at 11:00

In html5, btw, I think you can do something like if (navigator.onLine) {// Do something}. Although if you look through Google you'll find something better. S – simonmorley Jan 06 '13 at 12:42

@AndrewIce what a silly thing to say - if you feel an answer made over a year ago is out of date, don't mark it down, correct it or leave a constructive comment at least. – simonmorley Jul 13 '14 at 10:37

@simonmorley pretty sure I never marked it down. I simply commented on it. That would be rude to do. I also left constructive criticism, in my comment. Although apparently 'someone' deleted it. Since I remember specifically that I was mentioning about who the gem above was years out of date. Yeah, looking at my activity. I never earned a -1 for this post. – Andrew Ice Jul 17 '14 at 18:53
