Can anyone suggest an alternative to ktor-client websockets? They seem fundimentally broken and unusable

I haven't tried it, but what exactly is wrong with it? "Fundamentally broken" is a strong statement 🙂

It doesn't work right now. I don't know how long its gonna take to get fixed. I have nothing against them and its not fair to blame them for that, but right now it is unusable. I want to get going on this project

If there’s a specific issue you’re having, make sure to toss up an issue on github

The issue is tracked I think

Personally I like https://github.com/Tinder/Scarlet as websocket client
