GoInstant is a JavaScript API for adding realtime, collaborative experiences into any mobile or web application.

GoInstant is a JavaScript API for adding realtime, collaborative experiences into any mobile or web application. They provide the full stack developers need, including client side widgets (to add in functionality such as a user list for presence, form synchronization, etc.), realtime pub/sub messaging, and a scalable key/value store (for storing data).

GoInstant has an integration with AngularJS called GoAngular (which is open source), which makes it incredibly easy and fast to build realtime apps using AngularJS and GoInstant.

GoInstant widgets (user presence, form synchronization, click indicator, scroll indicator, etc.) provide client-side functionality that you drop into any application. These widgets enhance the realtime, collaborative experience.

You can sign up for GoInstant on their website. You’ll get 1 app free for life.
