What it does

Heartbeat - Transform any REST API to a Streaming API.

Heartbeat tranforms REST endpoints into streaming APIs painlessly, with zero lines of code. Heartbeat transformed streams are accessible from the dashboard, or universally via Javascript and REST based APIs. With the flick of a switch, heartbeat can store updates for up to six hours. It also provides an API and a data view for visually accessing historical data. Heartbeat takes REST API endpoints and transforms them into realtime APIs. Behind the scenes, heartbeat runs a worker process that will poll the REST API at the polling frequency you specify in the dashboard and show the changes via an elegant realtime endpoint. Heartbeat provides a realtime API that can be used from your Javascript…from heartbeat.appbase.io

    Hi 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…
