Looks cool but a minimum of 1 minute polling intervals? That's a pretty long time for what should be streaming data, no? If the data has no need to be real-time then why stream it?<p>Might want to fix the Heartbeat icon link by the way, it currently links to <a href="https://heartbeat.appbase.io/heartbeat.appbase.io" rel="nofollow">https://heartbeat.appbase.io/heartbeat.appbase.io</a>
Well, I can certainly see the usefulness. I just had a need this past week, but don't mind running my own Node instance. Here's sseries-of-tubes, a Nodejs library I wrote to turn any Express/Connect route (or anything you can poll) into a Server Sent Events stream:<p><a href="https://github.com/nextorigin/sseries-of-tubes" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/nextorigin/sseries-of-tubes</a><p>Pretty fast for you guys to turn it into a service already. What are you using on the backend? Node makes it really easy.
Why don't more web guys use MQTT for pub/sub live data? I saw the PubSubHubBub in the comments already, but most devs are still shoe-horning HTTP into solutions that really aren't request/response based
Looks neat, but I can't really think of a real world application for it other than some debugging of API's. It's basically polling-as-a-service. The hashtag about the real time web is a joke, right?<p>Please, don't turn it into some kind of SAAS, that would ruin everything. I'd be willing to pay a license fee on a stand-alone app, not a monthly fee on a tool I'd use once every few months.
This is very cool, thank you for sharing. I wish I could demo, but my current work is such that I really can't expose my endpoints/data to a 3rd party (financial services/PII type work). That said, pretend I could provided we had appropriate security - tell me about the security involved.
Reminds me of PubSubHubbub but using streams instead of webhooks for updates - <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PubSubHubbub" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PubSubHubbub</a>
Hey, that's a cool service.<p>Is that different from <a href="http://streamdata.io/" rel="nofollow">http://streamdata.io/</a> ?
