Using Websockets in Wasp

This is an example real-time, Websockets app built with Wasp in TypeScript to showcase the ease of use and integration of Websockets in Wasp. It's really NEAT!

It is also a part of a tutorial, How to build a real-time voting app with WebSockets, React, & Typescript.

You can try out a deployed version of the app here: https://websockets-voting-client.fly.dev/

This app also includes Wasp's integrated auth and a voting system (again, neat!).
