First of all I want to thank you for your code above. It helped me a lot!
Starting from your code I have created a solution where Nancy & SignalR runs on the same port inside Owin.
The console application code is this
using System;
using Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR;
using Microsoft.Owin.Hosting;
using Nancy;
using Owin;
namespace NancySignalrOwin
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var url = "http://localhost:8080";
using (WebApp.Start<Startup>(url))
{
Console.WriteLine("Running on http://localhost:8080", url);
Console.WriteLine("Press enter to exit");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
public class Startup
{
public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
app.MapSignalR();
app.UseNancy();
}
}
public class MyHub : Hub
{
public void Send(string name, string message)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} said {1}", name, message);
Clients.All.addMessage(name, message);
}
}
public class HomeModule : NancyModule
{
public HomeModule()
{
Get["/"] = x =>
{
return View["index"];
};
}
}
}
and the view is this
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>SignalR Simple Chat</title>
<style type="text/css">
.container {
background-color: #99CCFF;
border: thick solid #808080;

}
</style>

// Clear text box and reset focus for next comment.
$('#message').val('').focus();
});
});
});
