Any chance of open sourcing the rate limiter bit for Elixir?

Yeah I plan to. Have some things to prep next week for ElixirConf but am going to get back to it after that.

Isn't it open source? https://github.com/supabase/realtime

As a stand-alone Elixir package.

Isn't the whole supabase open source? Oh actually you mean, you want to run this without supabase?

The code is already open source, and anyone can extract it into a more reusable package. And it's developed in the open, anyone can fork or send PRs or anything. That's what open sourcing a piece of code is really about.

Yeah, I already extracted the WAL listening bit out (which is now far behind the realtime changes). And for that reason would rather have those pieces as individual packages for the wider Elixir community and so that it's easier to contribute back.
