AnyCable
Building realtime features at scale is easy with the dedicated realtime server, AnyCable. It runs next to your main app (or, in our cloud) and handles realtime load, while ensuring the deliverability of messages and reliability of connections. Use powerful high-level abstractions to build chats, collaboration, IoT data features, gen-AI streaming, etc.
- HTTPieHTTPie is an open-source API testing client. The team called on Evil Martians to create the Web & Desktop version of the application. Though we started by building a complex professional UI design, we also helped add new features on the frontend and backend.
