HTTP Push for notification system ?

[dungwinux]

• As the title, let's implement socket.io Http push to send to front-end notifications, updates, ... (i.e submission's updates, new submissions, ...)

Well, if there's any intention to create something like a messaging system for contestants to ask contest organizers for statement clarification, etc... Does it mean that an administrative front-end is required?

Bump

Bump again. You can implement a WS server now to dispatch notifications.

@minhducsun2002 See the title change ? HTTP Push is more preferable for sending notification

[minhducsun2002]

We will need HTTPS. I mean, proper HTTPS, not self-signed certs.
Which seems to be impossible currently.

In detail, we will need a service worker on the client side. Which cannot be installed through HTTP.

To implement WebSocket only for updating is overpowered.
Let's find some better alternatives.
