Gweet is a ridiculously simple message queue for use with internet-connected devices. Post and read messages to arbitrary keys with ease. You can find more information about it on my blog:

To install, run
go build github.com/skorokithakis/gweet
and copy the resulting gweet binary somewhere, anywhere. You're ready, just run it and your server is operational.
To use Gweet, all you need to do is POST a few values to your server, to a specific key. The latter can be
whatever you want, but a UUID is recommended, to avoid conflicts.
The API endpoints are:
- To submit some values, POST
/stream/{key}/with the values in the query string or in the form-encoded body. - To read the last posted values, GET
/stream/{key}/. - You can get only the
Nlatest values with a GET to/stream/{key}/?latest=N. - You can start a permanently-connected endpoint that will stream values to you as they arrive. To do that, just
request
/stream/{key}/?streaming=1, and the data will be sent to you in a chunked encoding as soon as they arrive.
Simple as that.
If you want to play around with Gweet a bit, there's a hosted demo at:
Feel free to use it, within reason. No guarantees for persistence or continued service.
