  Project mention: I learnt how to use WebSockets, made something beautiful/terrible | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-12-29

  While I didn't get to see what the site originally looked like. If it was just 'submit anonymous comments that websocket subscribers can see', there's a golang example leveraging the gorilla/websocket package that does just that[0].

• Centrifugo

  16 5,742 8.1 Go

  Scalable real-time messaging server in a language-agnostic way. Set up once and forever.

  

  Project mention: Woe be onto you for using a WebSocket | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-12-22

  Every time I read criticism of WebSockets it reminds me about WebSuckets (https://speakerdeck.com/3rdeden/websuckets) presentation :)

  I am the author of Centrifugo server (https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifugo) - where the main protocol is WebSocket. Agree with many points in post – and if there is a chance to build sth without replacing stateless HTTP to persistent WebSocket (or EventSource, HTTP-streaming, raw TCP etc) – then definitely better to go without persistent connections.

  But there are many tasks where WebSockets simply shine – by providing a better UX, providing a more interactive content, instant information/feedback. This is important to keep - even if underlying stack is complicated enough. Not every system need to scale to many machines (ex. multiplayer games with limited number of players), corporate apps not really struggle from massive reconnect scenarios, and so on. So WebSockets are definitely fine for certain scenarios IMO.

  I described some problems with WebSockets Centrifugo solves in this blog post - https://centrifugal.dev/blog/2020/11/12/scaling-websocket. I don't want to say there are no problems, I want to say that WebSockets are fine in general and we can do some things to deal with things mentioned in the OP's post.

• gateway

  1 37 3.6 Go

  A standalone service to connect to the Discord WebSocket gateway. (by spec-tacles)

  

  Project mention: discordgateway - A discord gateway module that separates Discord logic from the websocket logic | reddit.com/r/golang | 2022-01-07

  Probably 4 or more years ago I started a project aimed at microservice architecture for Discord bots. One of the few concrete successes of my efforts has been a gateway application which aims to abstract the Discord gateway logic away from users' applications. Although my efforts have been more on an application level rather than a library level, it seems we've arrived at similar conclusions :)

  Portal is a quick and easy command-line file transfer utility from any computer to another 🖥️ 🌌 💻 (by ZinoKader)

  Project mention: ELI5: what are rendezvous/mailbox servers and transit relay servers in the magic wormhole protocol? | reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive | 2021-11-13

  I have developed a similar tool called portal which implements some of the same ideas. The mailbox server is what keeps track of connections between senders and receivers. For portal, this mailbox would store information about what type of connection they are trying to make (direct or relayed), and the hashed password, among other things.
