Show HN: ScaleSocket – Turn any script into a multiplayer WebSocket server
It's similar to running netcat in server mode, wrapping a script. It's even closer to doing that using websocat [1], whereby one does not have to do the websocket header juggling.
The main difference is that while netcat or websocat will spawn a new process for each connecting client, ScaleSocket has a concept of rooms (channels). For a room, a process is spawned once only. All clients connecting to the same room are routed to the same process. This is not straight forward to do using the forementioned tools.
There's a small comparison page [2] where I have mentioned some alternative tools.

Ask HN: What was the best software that you used during 2022?
one combination I came to really love this year is babashka (https://github.com/babashka/babashka) + websocat (https://github.com/vi/websocat). I wrote about a method of live web programming with this pair at https://github.com/whacked/cow/blob/main/a%20technique%20for...
babashka isn't strictly necessary; you can also pipe plain text, but pushing hiccup expressions to the browser DOM from the REPL with instant feedback has opened a new world of interactive programming for me.

Realtime web-based MUD monitoring and control in tintin++ and mudlet
No... the core of it is a django instance in the cloud with a Vue front end (what you're seeing in the screen shot). To push data in, the client connects to a websocket (using https://github.com/vi/websocat) and push key/value pairs in. I'm not in the middle of gameplay at all.

There's really nothing to this. I just have to provide the bus name and an optional pattern. Now using websocat, I get output like this:

Exploring the methods of looking into Ethereum’s transaction pool
Subscriptions is real-time streaming of data from server to client through WebSocket. You will need a constantly active connection to stream such events. You cannot use curl for this and have to use a WebSocket client like websocat if you want to access it via command line. Once executed, a stream of pending transaction IDs will start flowing in.
