Hey HN! I’ve written a bunch of WebSocket servers over the years to do simple things like state synchronization, WebRTC signaling, and notifying a client when a backend job was run. I realized that if I had a simple way to create a private, temporary, mini-redis that the client could talk to directly, it would save a lot of time. So we created DriftDB. In addition to the open source server that you can run yourself, we also provide https://jamsocket.live where you can use an instance we host on Cloudflare’s edge (~13ms round trip latency from my home in NY). You may have seen my…

Hi HN! Thanks for your attention to my post. It was a big challenge to run most of Node.js packages in browser, fast moreover. Virtual File system, resolve import/export. I got cold many times, depressions, burned out, yet still alive and finished it. Many guys helped me with an advice. Many users give a lot of positive feedback. There are 200,000 monthly unique users. I work full time now because of the freemium business model. To be honest - I am happy after many years of hard work.

hi there! i’ve been working on a project called Narwhal, and I wanted to share it with the community to get some valuable feedback. what is it? Narwhal is a lightweight Pub/Sub server and protocol designed specifically for edge applications. while there are great tools out there like NATS or MQTT, i wanted to build something that prioritizes customization and extensibility. my goal was to create a system where developers can easily adapt the routing logic or message handling pipeline to fit specific edge use cases, without fighting the server's defaults. why Rust? i chose Rust because i…

Hey everyone! Over the past two years I threw myself back into full-time engineering with a simple goal: write code that gives back to the community. After a lot of late-night FOMO (“AI will do it all for us, right?”) and some painful production incidents, I finally turned my weekend project into an open-source library. [ What is Solidis? ] - Super-light (< 30 KB) RESP2/RESP3 client with zero runtime deps and first-class ESM/CJS support. - Fully tree-shakable – import only the commands you need. - Written with SOLID principles & full TypeScript typings for every command. - Designed…

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).

Hi HN! I'm Philip, one of the founders of Tiptap. Next to our open-source rich text editor framework, we started developing Hocuspocus about five years ago and open-sourced it too, to solve one of our biggest challenges back then: real-time collaboration in web editors. We found Yjs by Kevin Jahns, a CRDT library that handles concurrent edits without conflicts. Basically, Yjs merges changes from users without conflicts and in real-time. Hocuspocus is the WebSocket server built on top of Yjs. It handles real-time sync, presence/awareness, persistence, and Redis-based scaling. While we…
