Browser Top

Browser Top is a simple project that shows CPU usage of the serve in a browser with the help of websockets.

In this project, I learnt about how websockets work, how they are implemented in rust (specifically actix-web framework) and how to run synchronous in async environment with the help of tokio's signals and channels.
