I'm curious about the "fanout" name which immediately made me think of a message broker like RabbitMQ on the backend somewhere. I guess "fanout" here means 1 client to fanout.js to N >> 1 other clients.

There are a number of similar projects popping up like this one as of late for Node.js. NodeRed, fanout, dealer, etc.

That's great. Node.js makes previously "complex" things a little easier to setup and play with.
