Golang and raspberry-pi and websocket = awesome

Golang and raspberry-pi and websocket = awesome launched on August 29, 2015 with 12 votes, #1,492 of 3,588 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 11 years on.

In plain words

This is a project combining Golang, Raspberry Pi, and WebSocket technology for real-time communication applications. Launched in 2015, it demonstrates how these tools can work together to build interactive systems on small single-board computers. The project is suited for developers interested in embedded systems, server-side programming, and web-based interfaces. It showcases practical integration of a compiled language with IoT hardware and modern web standards.

    DriftDB – an open source WebSocket backend for real-time apps2023 · driftdb.com · ▲367

    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…

  • A toy version of Wireshark (student project)2025 · github.com · ▲265

    Hi everyone, I recently published a small open-source project. It’s a minimal network packet analyzer written in Go — designed more like a learning toy than a replacement for Wireshark. It currently supports parsing basic protocols like TLS, DNS, and HTTP, and includes a tiny fuzzing engine to test payload responses. You can inspect raw packet content directly from the terminal. The output is colored for readability, and the code structure is kept simple and clear. The entire program is very small — just about 400 lines of Go code. I know it’s not anywhere near Wireshark’s level, and I still…
