Building a simple chat app that uses websockets is easy, but rich, non-trivial, responsive realtime UI without ending up with a mess of code is hard SocketStream eases the pain by:
- Integrating best-of-breed modules to increase productivity
- Providing a sensible place to put everything
- Accelerating development with Live Reload and (optional) support for Stylus, Jade, and other transpilers.
- Accelerating deployment with integrated asset packing and CDN support
- Organizing spaghetti client-side code into modules you can
require()with Browserify - Working well with all major client-side frameworks (e.g. Backbone, Ember, Angular)
- Dashku: Realtime dashboards and widgets using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Also hosted at dashku.com.
- SketchDeck: An app for designing great slide decks from sketches, also a Y Combinator tech startup.
- Hollow: An interactive site for the award-winning documentary Hollow, which debuted at the Sundance festival.
