Socket.Kill — V2

Real-time EVE Online killmail feed. Kills stream to the browser the moment they're processed, no refresh, no polling. This wiki covers the V2 frontend: a rewrite from vanilla JS to Astro + Svelte 5 + Tailwind 4, deployed on Cloudflare Pages.

This repo is the frontend only. It connects to a private backend over WebSocket for the live kill stream and to a REST API for kill detail and archive lookups. The backend is not public.

How it works

The frontend opens a Socket.io connection to ws.socketkill.com and listens for kill events. Each kill is normalised into the feed, run through the active stream filters client-side, and rendered. Shared state (kill count, ISK destroyed, connection status) lives in Svelte stores so the header and feed stay in sync without prop-drilling.

Stack

• Astro — static shell and routing
• Svelte 5 (runes) — reactive components, feed and filter logic
• Tailwind 4 — styling
• Cloudflare Pages — hosting and edge

Pages

• [Web-Socket](https://github.com/ScotDex/socketkill-v2/wiki/Web%E2%80%90Socket) — the live stream connection: events, payload shape, reconnect behaviour
• (more as they're added)
