#2Looks very good. I have been using some CLI like https://github.com/esphen/wsta/ but definetely a GUI like this is better.
This is why I also hate socket.io, it's not a raw socket to just simply connect and start sending raw payload.

It's not open source. I want to keep any possibility of future monetization open for now.
