Chat, without the backend
Slash Socket also broadcasts chat messages the same way it broadcasts cursors — one event in, one event out to everyone connected. No database to provision, no third-party service to pay for.
- No database to provision or manage
- No third-party billing or usage limits
- Runs on your own machine, under your control
