What it does
I’d like to draw attention to an open-source library that I open sourced a while ago: Seasocks . Seasocks is a simple-to-use, lightweight, embeddable C++ library that implements HTTP and websockets. It has a simple way of serving static content and even some dynamic content, but its main raison d’être is for websocket-based command and control. It has no external library dependencies, and only requires C++11 features such as GCC 4.7 and above and Clang 3.4 already support. void serve () { Server server ( make_shared < PrintfLogger > (); server . serve ( "web" , 9090 ); } Websockets are a little more involved, but not a whole deal more. He’s the skeleton of a chat client…from xania.org

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…

AOO – C++ library for real-time audio streaming and messaging2024 · aoo.iem.sh · ▲107AOO is a lightweight and flexible peer-to-peer audio streaming and messaging solution. It allows to send audio and messages in real-time and on demand between network endpoints - not only in local networks, but also over the public internet! The C/C++ library can be easily embedded in host applications or plugins. It even runs on embedded devices, such as the ESP32. In addition, the project contains a Pure Data external and a SuperCollider extension. The following article provides a high level introduction and demonstrates some use cases:…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
