Editor-Box VS deepstream.io

I have an idea to replace posting on Facebook/Twitter where you sell your and your readers privacy with posting on your own blog.

To achieve this, blogging platforms (I am aiming to WordPress right now) must remove the obstacles in user experience: people stopped blogging and switched to Facebook because posting on FB has more profits: it is easier (just visit front page of FB instead of logging to wp-admin and doing next steps), you have all content in one place (FB wall shows your posts and your friends posts etc) and tickles your ego (you immediately get likes and shares while on your blog barely anyone comment your post)

I am working on plugins and tools to remove this distance: front-end editor box for your blog ( https://github.com/kkarpieszuk/Editor-Box ), plugin to subscribe to other blogs and see their content as part of your blog, plugin to give local likes for posts, broadcast your content to other blogs...

Everyone will have kind of their own Facebook on their own WordPress blog.

I am WP plugin developer as my main job but all above I am doing in my free time as a hobby.

If anyone is interested in collaborating to make the network a bit less occupied by big techs, please reach me here https://github.com/kkarpieszuk/Editor-Box (create an issue or pull request if you have an idea how to extend this plugin) or find my email address at https://muzungu.pl/o-mnie/ (in Polish but you will easily find the address)

Deepstream is an open-source library for real-time web application development. The library, which is built with Node.js and Engine.io, helps developers build frontend web applications that perform real-time updates while requiring minimal backend code.

I'm working on a few projects, from one/two days to platforms.

The first is OS and is a simple nodeJS environment to deploy applications via lambda and express quickly. Sort of like nestJS except less decorators and more functional (https://vramework.io/). I already know of a few other colleagues that rolled their own propriety versions of this to support enterprise and cloud deployments so decided to OS it.

The other OS project is a strongly typed postgres/mysql driver. The idea is to generate typescript definitions directly from postgres (https://github.com/vramework/schemats) and then have a think layer ontop of pg-node that gives you strongly typed queries (https://github.com/vramework/postgres-typed).

An open-source project I spent a few years on the core team is https://deepstream.io/, a realtime-server that allows you to mix and match multiple streaming protocols (mqtt/websocket/others) and allow those clients to talk to each other using pub-sub and records. I'm not longer working for it but wanted to give it a shout out!

On a non OS project, I have been working on an immersive audio platform for a while now. The main goal is to allow users to pick and choose how audio books progress, and also have a live session mode which allows users to record their pulse / answer questions and a few other metrics and associate it with sentences. I pretty much built and deployed all of it but require some advice/brainstorming on how to proceed now. I built it to satisfy an itch when I was practicing shamanism during the first lockdown when I was in-between contracts / taking time off.

I also want to build a simple web-pages strategy game based around eco-education, but don't have the bandwidth . If anyone is interested in mixing together gamification and eco-village building might be a fun conversion to bounce ideas!

All the OS projects above were used to support my personal/a couple professional projects over the last few years.

I'm currently looking for a contract that is part-time that is focused on consultancy or smaller projects (such as setting up containerized AWS environments)

I am looking for part-time contract or freelance/consulting opportunities at the moment (up to 20 hours/week).

https://deepstream.io is the closest and has a richer feature set (including a replicating document store), however it seems to have a small ecosystem / community / limited support options, and permissions do not seem as advanced.

https://nats.io is close but lower level. Has a large community and rich ecosystem however.

Then you can also mix and match lowever level technologies to achieve the particular set of tradeoffs you need. MQTT, AMQP as the protocol, mosquitto / rabbitmq/zeromq, then json-rpc on top ...

I can find socket.io, faye, deepstream.io , autobahn-js and nchan, centrifugo. Can you also explain why you chose it and if you had troubles with some other solution?
