I built a simple open-source realtime server (Socket.IO + JWT) for SaaS apps - feedback welcome
Hey ๐
I open-sourced a lightweight realtime server I built specifically to work alongside Next.js apps.
It uses Socket.IO + JWT, keeps auth in your Next.js backend, and focuses on being simple:
- no user management
- no database dependency
- role/permission-based access via JSON config
You can use it for chat, notifications, presence, or activity feeds.
