Most shouldn't. The reality: 95% of "real-time" applications only need server → client updates. Chat notifications. Live dashboards. Stock tickers. Log streams. AI responses. WebSockets give you bidirectional communication. But bidirectional comes with a tax: complexity, resource overhead, scaling challenges, debugging nightmares. Server-Sent Events (SSE) do one thing: stream data from server to client. They do it brilliantly. And for most applications, that's all you need.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #events #http #pubsub #sse #webdev</p> Fri, 06 Feb 2026 00:51:51 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:38283 events http pubsub sse webdev https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Broadcast_Channel_API The Broadcast Channel API allows basic communication between browsing contexts (that is, windows, tabs, frames, or iframes) and workers on the same origin. By creating a BroadcastChannel object, you can receive any messages that are posted to it. You don't have to maintain a reference to the frames or workers you wish to communicate with: they can "subscribe" to a particular channel by constructing their own BroadcastChannel with the same name, and have bi-directional communication between all of them.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #pubsub #webdev</p> Wed, 28 Jan 2026 23:52:25 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:38261 pubsub webdev http://freshbrewedcode.com/jimcowart/2013/02/07/client-side-messaging-essentials/ "Most people throw around the term “pub/sub” to describe any kind of eventing/messaging – but I think this term fails to adequately communicate the abstraction.
