The Wikispeed dashboard was created as a client-side alternative to the Wikipulse project, using the Recent Changes stream over websockets, instead of the old Recent Changes IRC feeds, in a way that could be hosted statically in services like GitHub pages without a dynamic back-end server.

Unfortunately, it stopped working in 2017 after the RCStream service was deprecated in favor of the EventStreams service (see issue #17 in the repository) and the original Wikipulse also went down in 2022 when Heroku removed the free tier from their service.

The goal of this task is to refactor Wikispeed to work with EventStreams, so that it becomes functional again.
