Haven't had any issues with it!

• reqwest-eventsource

  2 39 3.3 Rust

  Helper to build an Eventsource using reqwest

I'm currently writing a HN post score tracker (basically it plots score variations over time since they were in new for each popular post) and it's really convenient that you can just subscribe with eventsource [0] and get realtime update when something changes without having to manually poll each post wasting resources. Not yet sure about the latency though.

Similar to this, I created "HN Faves API", which is an API to fetch a user's favorited posts and comments on HN. Interestingly, HN doesn't have an official API for this.
