This is a dumb website that lets you press a button and tells you how many people are currently also pressing that button.

How does it work

• ktor - kotlin-native webserver
• web sockets
• coroutines
  • turns out coroutines + web sockets is a really nice pattern

Why

• I wanted to learn a bit more about the practical uses of coroutines for backend web dev
• I wanted to play with web sockets a bit more
• Also for https://github.com/suzannex
