Managed WebSocket without vendor lockin
While I was building Neeyer (https://neeyer.com), a location based social app, which I'll do another post later. I found it hard to find a managed Websocket service without vendor lock-in. So I built myws.dev and been using it for my app. I know this is something I'd use myself (and I AM using it). So I hope this helps you too focus on your own app instead of infrastructure.
Managed WebSocket without vendor lockin launched on November 15, 2022 with 5 votes, #1,507 of 3,471 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.
What it does
Managed Websockets, no vendor lock-in
Millions of concurrency? No problem. Millions of messages per second? Easy peasy. Just bring your own websocket client. In case you wanna take it in-house for some reason, you don't have to rewrite your whole codebase. Any kind of auth you can think of, we support it: allowAny, whitelist only, JWT token. We challenge you to name one that we don't support today, and we'll buildfrom myws.dev

- DADriftDB – 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…

Superblocks – IDE for Internal Apps, APIs and Cron Jobs2022 · superblocks.com · ▲193Hey HN, I’m Brad, one of the creators of Superblocks and a YC alum, excited to share our internal tooling IDE. As developers ourselves, we faced the problem of building tons of internal admin UIs, backends to connect siloed data, reporting jobs, and data pipelines. For UIs we would build one-off React components. For integrations, we would have to decipher vendor docs and implement auth. Finally, for reporting jobs we had to handle failures and observability – many hours of repetitive engineering effort. So we built Superblocks, an internal tooling IDE to connect to any datasource…
Socket – Secure your JavaScript supply chain2022 · socket.dev · ▲133Excited to share the project I've been working on for the past 7 months! We've seen nearly weekly attacks against the open source software supply chain. I saw the seeds of this trend start in the mid 2015s as an open source maintainer and I've watched it only get worse over the years. I finally decided to try to solve this problem. Socket is taking an entirely new approach to one of the hardest problems in security in a stagnant part of the industry that has historically been obsessed with just reporting on known vulnerabilities. Unlike other scanning tools, Socket actually analyzes the…

I made a thing! In 2014, I was holding a stack of iPhones and thought to myself: "Hey, if I had each phone display a playing card, I could click a button and they'd shuffle themselves" I pared that idea all the way down to this: trading cards made of e-ink displays. Right now, each card costs me about $20 each, but with only a bit more scale, I think I can get that down to $10. In doing this project, I learned how to design electronics and circuit boards. I learned Rust and wrote my first driver, I upped my CAD skills, 3D printed, and did my first resin casting. I generated the images on the…
