Products that do what Goatee – Redis, WebSocket notifications in Go does

Hey guys and gals! I'm learning Go at the moment and LOVING it. I was hoping to get constructive feedback on a project I'm working on - goatee - which is a notification server that utilizes Redis pub/sub and WebSockets. It's fairly bare-bones at the moment but I'm hoping to add in a lot more features as time goes on such as queueing and WebSocket channel subscriptions (via Go Socketio possibly).

    Gottp – A Postman/Insomnia-Like TUI API Client Built in Go▲5

    What it does: A Postman/Insomnia-like TUI for building, sending, and organizing HTTP/GraphQL/gRPC/WebSocket requests. Supports saved collections stored as YAML/JSON files, environment variables, auth presets, response diffing, and request history. Why it's needed: This is the single largest gap in the Go TUI ecosystem. The abandoned wuzz (10.5k stars) proved massive demand for terminal HTTP inspection, but it's been dead for years. Posting (Python, ~6k stars) and ATAC (Rust, ~2k stars) are thriving alternatives in other languages. The Go options — gostman and go-gurl…

    Visualizing web server activity using gource▲9

    I just want to share this little weekend experiment. I used gource (usually intended to show git repo changes over time) with web server logs. Video is at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqV8wqy0v7w It's showing the web server activity for a non profit, requesting and receiving payments, accepting new members, as well as having the two admins making changes around. This is actually surprisingly easy to do with gource by just providing a log file in a pretty simple format instead of providing the git repo. This is a low traffic server but I find it quite interesting as a way…

    Gochan – A library of channel architectures for Go, inspired by Rust▲5

    Hi All, I felt like I was re-inventing the wheel by bolting similar channel architectures onto different Go structs repeatedly so I decided to extract some common types into into one library so that they would be easier to re-use: - oneshot - spsc - spmc - mpsc - mpmc - broadcast - watch The types are inspired by Rust channels so if you're coming from Rust they should feel familiar. So far I'm really enjoying using them but it'd be great to get some external feedback if you have time! https://github.com/amorey/gochan Andres
