Real time fetch and show

[mmarif4u]

Currently i guess there is no ajax technology used for fetch and show things specifically in issues comment system and notifications which can reduce the load of refresh and will be more real time instead. Means, that i no need to refresh to know that some one commented on the issue or i have notifications for action.

There could be other areas which also can have this feature for usability and better productivity.

Any thoughts?

Some of the pages use Vue to display dynamic content. The improvement of api and the related documentation is the first step and we are going in that direction but we try to keep in mind that some folk disable JS and gitea should still be usable in those cases.

I think it should be done using websockets just like github is doing it with notification and link "Refresh"

[mmarif4u]

Websockets would be great for two way communication for stuffs like updating the notification counter/badge, pulling the latest comments etc.

Anyone here tried having 10000 websockets open to the same server?

EDIT: My point being, use long-polling with ETAGs instead... it's usually much faster

@bkcsoft I love using this golang websocket library. It's super fast, has zero-copy upgrade and was designed specifically to handle heavy loads.
