ApnOnREST is a project mainly written in RUBY and JAVASCRIPT, it's free.
A standalone Rails app providing apple push notifications (using rails_apn), and REST for communication
rails_apn_standalone is a standalone Rails 3 based Apple Push Notification Service that can be accessed via a REST API. It uses a fork of the apn_on_rails plugin. I wanted to share the same APN server among a few different applications, so instead of plugging into my application, I decided to write a simple REST layer on top of apn_on_rails. There's also a simple admin UI to manage the data.
