Real-time Hypermedia

on YouTube ↗32m

" summary

Claims a tiny library replaces heavy SPA plumbing by shipping state from the server and driving DOM updates, built as DataStar: ~300 lines, 11 tags with plugin hooks, signals and TypeScript semantics. Uses NATS for messaging, SSE (not websockets) and bets on HTTP/2/3 multiplexing. Shows a live 3D city demo and an interactive NATS tutorial where a single GET streams new state at 144 FPS via SSE, game engine is ~400 lines, bundle ~13 MB, and a historical app handled 800,000 radar blips/sec in production.
