Our fav product dev Theo uses Pusher and some other websocket tools for his app Ping.gg

Ping is so good that you can't actually tell @linusgsebastian is calling in remotely

pubsub is not a solution, it's an implementation detail

Investigating realtime sync app state and stumbled upon this tweet.

I love how @liveviewjs couples components with their server actions in one file, allowing you to not need an API for any event.

So I looked into LiveView and it is built on Elixir lang's Phoenix web framework. That reminded me of this interview - Ockam with Mrinal Wadhwa with the Ockham boss who talks, specifically at @26:15 why they are using Elixir and the concerns around it compared to alternate solutions. This leads me to the conclusion that Phoenix built on Elixir is the framework to use for messaging or live syncing app state.

Video Live Streaming - a separate but not completely orthogonal (unrelated) subject

This video, which is part of a great series of Tech Bytes, discusses a similar subject of video live streaming.
TLDR; Whether you are capturing video from a camera or serving it from object storage, the process of streaming in chunks over the wire will be the same. It's similar to serving MD(X) from fs vs data from a remote API or CMS. Logic from the extraction step forward remains unchanged.

Web3 Version - LivePeer

boo 👻 nifty

@bronifty

There is 1 legit use case for web3 besides trading GBP for USD via USDC: video love streaming.

Live peer (or should I say love peer) distributes the workload from a centralized server to many nodes which -at once- 1. serve data & 2. get paid in tokens
