I'm curious, which projects do you do that require web sockets? Also, nice use of the board's new emoji support.

Sorry for the long wait on this! I only have one project at the moment, but I'm working on a music player widget to display on my streams that can be reactive to input sent from my stream deck. The widget and server have a subscribe/publish pattern, and the communication works like this:
 

Widget <-> Webserver

The websocket allows for efficient data flow keeping media player data synchronized such as current song, estimated seek position, song attributes, album art, commands such as play/pause/previous/next, far faster than API requests. The webserver's role in this relationship is to communicate desired changes to the widget where the widget will then send a response as to whether that desired change was successful or not.

 

Stream Deck <-> Webserver

The Stream Deck interacts via API to send/process my desired commands which will have a success/failure result depending on the decision made on the backend. For example if I ask for a specific song but the song for some reason isn't available, this will not be forwarded to the Widget and the Stream Deck will be given a failure response to display to me. Likewise for the opposite, if the song exists and the Widget & Player were able to have a successful interaction, I'll be given a successful response and the Stream Deck will report that to me visually as well.

 

Desired commands because I like to keep realistic expectations that I'm sure I'll have undesired outcomes at times.

Is there a reason you went with bun and not something else? Just curious.

Sorry for the late reply! Honestly, I just kinda wanted to try something new. I find playing around with the bleeding edge fun and if it means I find a genuinely good replacement, that's even better! Bun is still pretty young and I still need to have Node installed for some edge cases, but my experience using it was a genuine joy and I found it easier than with Node.
