TCP and UDP Sockets API on Chrome, Firefox

In plain words

TCP and UDP Sockets API on Chrome and Firefox is a developer tool that enables low-level network socket communication in web browsers. It allows developers to create TCP and UDP connections directly from web applications, bypassing standard HTTP requests. The tool is useful for developers building real-time networking applications, games, or other software requiring direct socket access in the browser. It launched in September 2018 and is available on GitHub.

  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.
