Streamthing - Real-time features for the web

Implementing real-time features on the web can sometimes seem like a daunting task. Between setting up your own servers, managing connections, scaling infrastructure and ensuring low latency, the process can quickly become overwhelming. If you've ever tried to build something like a live chat app, collaborative editor, or real-time dashboard, you know how much effort goes into making it all work seamlessly.

The Struggles of DIY Real-Time Features

For many developers, the journey starts with enthusiasm but quickly turns into frustration. You might begin by spinning up your own server, only to realize that maintaining it is much harder than what you initially thought. Scaling becomes a headache when traffic spikes, and debugging issues in real-time systems can sometimes feel impossible.

Even with modern tools like Node.js or frameworks that support WebSockets, you're still left handling the nitty-gritty details: performance, security, and ensuring compatibility with all platforms. And let’s not forget the time invested that could be spent building your core product instead of wrestling with WebSockets.
