[Project] Ably deep dive

[mattheworiordan]

Customer said it would be good for us to have a simple bootstrap example of how to set up a client for a generic app.

It would be good to just have an example of establishing a connection, attaching to a channel, managing state changes, entering & subscribing to presence etc.

Update by Tony (11 Mar 2021) - I’m renaming this to “Deep dive“. The basic plan is:

• Quick start - Ably in 10 minutes (we have this already)
• Deep dive - Ably in 30 mins (new)

I am keen that the deep dive should be based on a reusable project repo, that contains the nuts and bolts to get the developer up and running quickly. The project should be runnable locally.

For bonus points:

• Add “Deploy on Heroku“ (see example here: https://github.com/tbedford/minimal-flask)
• Look at making it Glitch compatible? (Glitch has import/export capabilities that might be useful)

Objective is to create a project for developers that lifts them up the learning curve and gets them started faster.
